They have a great card selection and each card is only 99 cents. I love that each card was in plastic wrap with its envelope. I saw some nice rugs for a great price while walking by the furniture section. It looks like you could get just about anything here. Prices seemed very fair. I also got a cute yard flag for only $5.

Best part is that they have one of those super fun quarter pushing machines!!!

So if you want to have some good tacos, churros, crepés, chicharrones you need to visit this place. For tacos i go to Taqueria Allende , for crepés Mike's Ice Cream, chicharrones I don't know the name but you will see them in the entrance, for churros.

The taco food trucks are authentic, cheap and amazing quality - similar to what I had in LA and Mexico City. The churros were a bit disappointing - over-fried and dry and they only had the caramel-filled ones as a option when I went.

This was the MESSIEST dollar tree I have EVER walked in to. The staff didn't know where anything…read morewas because it was all buried under a bunch of crap from other isles. I literally had to climb over boxes to try to find something. The only reason I have 2 stars instead of 1 is because some guy that was unpacking freight came to give me a box of something I was looking for that a woman didn't even mind to look for, just pointed me in a direction and said it should be there. On another item that they were "out of" and "had been out for a long time" I found after digging through some random things that didn't belong. All in all I know it's dollar tree and I shouldn't have high expectations to begin with but the store was literally just trashed. It looked as if someone had a hoarder yard sale going on in there.

After looking around, I think they've done it. For essentials and things you didn't know you needed until you see it here, this place has got it covered. The name of this store sums it up -- a lot of dollar items and dollar or more-plus things, but none were over-priced compared to comparable places. The last thing asked as I left the store was if I was looking for anything in particular, because he'd order it. Everyone who came in was offered a basket for shopping and if they needed it, assistance in finding something. If it wasn't here, he said he'd order it and for that person to come back next week. Who has customer service like that anymore? and in a 99c+ store? Three stars, but I have to throw in another one for the customer service.

Although this store doesn't really serve that purpose anymore, it still keeps that atmosphere. From the small, narrow aisles to haphazardly arranged and sometimes dusty goods, and oft-overcrowded display cases, Robert's Country Store will either scare you or charm you. This place has a little of everything: small toys and stuffed animals for kids mixed with tools, kitchen items, cleaning and a few garden supplies, matchbox cars, incense, glass pipes, bumper stickers, collectibles, belt buckles, metal signs, cassette tapes, a few paperbacks, and the occasional risque item for adult kids. Roberts also has a pretty impressive display of knives and offers knife sharpening services. It's an interesting store, with a nostalgic feel and depending on what you need, may save you a trip into town. Just be prepared for a store like no other.

The plus size department has increased in size to the point the Misses size area is slim to none. The last 3 times I have been in the store there is a large size lady with extremely short gray hair I can only assume this is the department she takes care of? She and another younger dirty blond hair woman were literally taking rack after rack of the Missy size clothes I was trying to weed my through and shoving them in the midst of the plus size clothing. I questioned her as to why does the store do this? She was extremely rude and told me I needed to move she had a job to do. I went to the customer service counter to complain about her attitude and inquire why is it you can't hardly locate the Misses clothed and the employee is always seen back their shoving rack fulls of them all up into those plus clothes then the Africa American female at the customer service counter was rude as any person can be and said to me " do you own this store"? I stated excuse me. She said to me " exactly " you can go down the road somewhere. I have even seen the large white woman in the dressing room apparently I assumed she was asleep in the thing I tried the Handel to see if it was unlocked sometimes thank God they are and she was up in it asleep instead of doing her job. I also went to complain about that as well and again was met by that same African America woman who was again ignoring me while I witnessed her absolutely chewing out another white employee and she was then told literally in front of me that she was No Manager and had no right to speak to employees or any one in the manner that she does. What's wrong in this store mow that literally general management does not immediately fire sleeping in the job employees . Employees that run a department and yet it stays an utter wreck. And that offensive African American woman who insults your customers and now witnessed the same over a week ago with her doing it to another employee and witnessed what appeared to be possibly a Manger or supervisor telling that lady straight up to stop harassing employees? I'm emailing the corporate office regarding it. I don't think it's right to a customer to have to be spoken too in that manner or to witness that woman sleeping in a dressing room and deliberately it seems just slamming clothes all over the place in the back instead of doing her job. ..Shame on you Roses. You need to very apparently be rid of some of those workers who have been their too long and think they own the place....very disappointed highly upset and fully intend to report the general manager of this store to corporate.

Brightleaf Square is a quaint retail development located in the center of the Brightleaf…read moreneighborhood in downtown Durham. I'd call it a "shopping center," but it's not like a typical suburban shopping center. The development consists of two repurposed brick warehouses, originally built in 1904, that used to store bright leaf tobacco (that's where the name comes from). So, Brightleaf Square looks and feels historic, and that's what makes it charming. That said, the development is kind of small and there's not that much here. If you want to walk across the street to, say, Rose's or Jeni's, then yes, the neighborhood (also known as the Brightleaf District) has more to offer. I highly recommend Rose's, by the way, for their ramen and ice cream sandwiches. Strictly speaking, within the square, Emmy Squared Pizza is terrific for their Detroit-style pizza. It's among the best deep-dish pizza anywhere, in my opinion. There's also Clouds Brewing, which is a craft brewery and restaurant. Other businesses are local/boutique shops, such as Bull City Art & Frame Company and Mill & Meadow Stationery Shop, and private offices. The brick/stone walkway, old-fashioned lamp posts, string lights, trees, benches, and early-1900s buildings can make for a fun, whimsical stroll with friends and family before or after lunch or dinner. It's also a good date spot, especially if you incorporate the larger neighborhood (e.g., pizza at Emmy Squared followed by ice cream sandwiches at Rose's). For parking, I suggest parking in the surface lot at the corner of W Main St and S Gregson St. You can enter the lot from either of those streets. Pay attention to signs as you may have to pay during certain days and times. Fun fact: Durham's infamous "Can Opener Bridge" is located on the south end of Brightleaf Square. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the bridge's Wikipedia page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norfolk_Southern%E2%80%93Gregson_Street_Overpass Also, watch some of the videos on this YouTube channel to see the Can Opener in action: https://www.youtube.com/@11foot8plus8 The camera that captures those videos is mounted on one of the buildings at Brightleaf Square.
