It had been at least a dozen years since I had set foot inside a Dollar General but an online search for a hard to find product I have been searching for led me to Dollar General. The product is Hot Shot Flea, Tick & Lice Killer With Odor Neutralizer. I don't know why but this particular variety of Hot Shot spray has become hard to find at a reasonable price. I had been buying it at a store that no longer carries it and my online search limited me to Amazon ($16+), Chewy ($5) and Dollar General for $3.75 per can. Ding ding ding, we have a winner!
I dropped by this store on my way home from work on Friday afternoon around 4:30 PM. I broke out the Yelp app to check in but there was no listing so I clicked the "add a business" button and got busy. There are two entry and exit points, one on Battlefield (divided road) and one on Campostella. At peak traffic times getting in and out of the small shopping center can require a bit of patience. The private parking lot is of adequate size but is not in the best repair. The lot could use some patching and paving, it's not uncommon to find stray shopping carts and some debris in the lot. It is also not unusual to find individuals hawking their wares out of a truck or trailer in the corner of the lot nearest the intersection.
Walking into the store is kind of jarring. There is product everywhere. Due to the wall of products displayed you cannot walk straight into the store but must follow the wall of product displays until you get to the end. Once in the store you will find very dirty tile floors in desperate need of stripping and waxing plus you will discover aisles crowded with items on carts or in boxes waiting to be put on the shelves. You will also find a very wide variety of products across many categories at pretty decent prices.
To this point I've mostly trashed the store but there are some saving graces that bring the rating up to three stars. It's time to (in the words of Johnny Mercer) "accentuate the positive." As I previously stated, prices tend to be really good on most items and they stock an incredibly very wide variety of products. To me, it's worth a star, just for them to have the Hot Shot product I like. Another big plus is the friendly staff. I was greeted when I entered the store and thanked as I departed. Check out was efficient and pleasant. Oh yeah, there is also free Wi-Fi. I shall return. read more
