I live in the city (of Buffalo), but I work in Orchard Park. I've become so accustomed to shopping in the city and the messes of those stores, that I was blown away by the stores out in Orchard Park.
First of all, the Orchard Park store is cleaner. Things were in place (the store was not messy), and shelves were not empty. Furthermore, the cashiers were nicer and actually smiled at you.
Secondly, the products/merchandise at the Orchard Park store were so much better. Yes, everything is still one dollar but they had items that I've never seen in the city stores. For example, the wine glasses were very pretty, and brand name drinks that I considered to be "the good stuff". Of course, they also have some of the usual things you're used to seeing such as books, gift supplies, cards, storage items, storage bags, etc.
There weren't much to be disappointed about, however if I had to think of something, I'd say the parking is a little tight. It is very busy, so just be careful pulling in and backing out.
Overall, I walked out spending way too much (for it to be a Dollar Store) - but I am very happy with my purchases. If you're a city dweller like myself, and just happened to be in Orchard Park, definitely check out their stores. read more
