This is a good place to stop in and get your "gotta get" stuff. Like felt-tip pens, safety pins, and Werther's candy (ok, maybe I didn't gotta get that but dang they have a nice candy section).
Prices have been pretty low for the items I have come in for, and a lot of the merchandise is pretty cheap. There are other items that seem more expensive than what they would cost at a Target or wherever. And you might want to go elsewhere to get better-quality items. But I can walk to Family Dollar and I'm glad to have it here.
Unfortunately, since we are in a "food desert" downtown area, you won't find any fresh fruits or vegetables here. There is a small section of frozen food. There are a lot of non perishable food choices but I would probably not come here to do "grocery shopping". Though there is actually a produce store a little walk south of here on 13th so that could fill out the rest.
The staff have always been really nice, greeting me as I walk in, and have been very patient with customers I have seen who were a little...difficult. It's a hard job for sure!
The store is probably a little understaffed...like everywhere is now, so some areas might be a little disheveled. It is ok! read more
