Spooky candy sprinkles, napkins and plates, along with juice boxes for Friday's festivities, I'm not certain how they can run the whole store with seemingly only one employee in the front of the store, but it certainly seems to work. This store is always sparkling, clean, and the conversation conversations with cashiers are always full of pleasantries. I'm very appreciative of the Dollar Tree in my neighborhood.

They have a lot more than you would think they would have. Cleaning products, makeup, toiletries, clothing, candles, candy. I've definitely done some Christmas shopping here as well. It is very clean, masks are to be worn by customers and employees. The prices on certain things can be a bit higher than say, Target or Walmart, but it's the convenience of going to a smaller store. I know I appreciate that.
