I've really only been in one or two other Dollar Tree locations. As far as I can tell they live by their name .... everything is pretty much $1 (plus tax).
The stores I have been in previously were laid out similar and had a pretty good assortment of items. They are actually a really good place to check out cleaning supplies and kitchen utensil type things. They may not have name brands, but in many cases the brands they carry have the look of the name brand and are probably manufactured at the same place.
They aren't all off brands, they do have a variety of things that you will recognize especially in the candy aisles as well as some of the drinks (Gatorade and Monster). Also, keep in mind they have party supplies (plates, napkins, banners, balloons, etc) all at reasonable prices.
Store feels a little dated, but not anymore so than any of the other Dollar Tree locations I've been in. I'd check them out again if I'm in the area. read more
