Continuing our journey around the lake we actually stumbled upon this location. I had no clue this was here. Obviously it is newer. But this goes to show how DG pops up in underserved areas. For here, it's a bit of a journey to a grocery store and further if you wanted to go elsewhere.
This location is your typical DG with a mix of DG Market. Your typical DG has the quick grab items with shelf stable items and some cooler/freezer items. Throw in a mix of goods for home and what not and you are covered. But this location has a small cooler for some fresh produce and meats. It is rather small, but serves a purpose for grabbing fresh items for a meal.
I came in looking for that elusive item I had searched for all weekend. Say similar items, but they did not have exactly what I needed.
What I can say is that this is very well used here. The parking lot was an indication that many people nearby come here to grab the necessities. Once inside it is more evident because of the size of the line of people waiting to purchase said items. What is sad is that DG put all this time, effort, and money into installing self checkouts, but has shut them all down because of the amount of theft that was happening. Pair that with the sever understaffing of any given spot that caused the line to be long and cause of a wait. Seeing this, I decided to not purchase an item here and stop at one of the many other locations nearby. read more
