It looks like it's been here for a while, and they do swift business! The store is well lit, and in very clean condition. The parking is easy, and you can easily see this place from quite some distance away. I really appreciate the staff here. They were really nice, and they knew their products quite well. They had everything I needed in stock, and the prices were incredible. It's much easier going here than to the big box stores or the local grocery store! They've designed this place with ease and convenience in mind! I can't wait to get back!

I am not above perusing a dollar store. As my five year old says, "Mom, EVERYTHING IS ON SALE…read more It's just a dollar." She's not wrong... It is crazy how a bunch of $1 items add up when you take a jaunt around this particular Dollar Tree. When this store opened, I was jazzed. I no longer had to go across town to get $1 balloons. Seriously. Any occasion you find yourself needing Mylar balloons, I go straight to the Dollar Tree!! They have a plethora of options, they have cute weights to put them on, and again, they are ONE DOLLAR. So. Much. Cheaper. Then other stores in the area. Name brands live here. Hallmark, Vicks, Maybelline, Gerber, Clorox, Glad, General Mills Kleenex, and Playtex. Each store differs, but I've had great luck at this location. As a parent (and past kid, myself) I realized cards have never been seen as more than a vehicle to get monies. HOWEVER. Sometimes getting mail that isn't a bill is exciting. Am I right?! Stock up on greeting cards here and don't break the bank-- 2 for $1. (Did I mention they carry Hallmark?!) Other items I find myself getting here... Party Supplies-- paper plates, plastic silverware, serving plates... streamers, birthday candles, photo booth props, etc. Wrapping paper, tissue paper... Kids Stuff-- books, puzzles, swim toys, sand toys, birthday goodie bag toys, Valentine's Day toys, etc. Craft Items-- scotch tape, crayons, paint, construction paper, markers, pipe cleaner, feathers, stick on eyes, etc. Seasonal Decor. This location opens late (10am) and the always seems to be understaffed. So expect to wait at the checkout line a bit. But the staff has always been super friendly... even when I couldn't decide which Spiderman balloon I wanted to purchase! Come here to save big.

Here we are over a half decade later and I JUST left yet again with the same ghosts to replace the last set! Wowza. Those ghosts are a family tradition and a highlight of our #spookyszn. I like popping in Dollar Tree for holiday decor, stocking stuffers, Hallmark cards and helium filled balloons. I have always been impressed by the kindness of the employees here.

The store is kept clean, although it is a little old looking. Their staff are hit and miss, and they can be understaffed at times.

How fortunate for this business that right after a person leaves a negative review, someone else…read moreleft a glowing review. Too bad the positive reviewer chose to be so insulting. As to this business, this news about the manager completely ignoring a customer who came in to warn them about a health hazard with some of their medication (ie the bottle of pain killers containing some sort of mold) is not surprising. The staff at this business do not seem to care in the slightest about the store itself or the customers. While I'm not directly involved in the medication dispute, I have been there several times frequently for party supplies and I have been significantly underwhelmed each time. The cashiers do not greet you or even hardly speak to you while checking out and they do not acknowledge you if they are stocking a shelf or "tidying up" and you need to get something they are in front of. Aand if the manager is friendly as is suggested, then I must go there on her singularly bad days because I've never seen her be friendly. I usually forgive such behavior because it's just a dollar store and I don't go often but after hearing about their lack of concern for public health - seriously all it would have taken was an apology, a refund, and sending the offending meds back to the manufacturer - ensures that I'd rather spend a little more than to shop here.

Makes zero sense. But otherwise a great store, always clean, friendly employees.
