I, like almost everyone (or at least those it's come up with) "F$&KN LOVE a dollar store! The selection and price point make upgrades, redecorating ideas, food and essentials within reach and worth a try regardless of any annual house hold income. The more I searched for information and understanding, the more I read about the hype, ethics, etc.. the more I liked it... as far as national corporate chain stores go. As far as this location goes: it appears that on a national level, they is movement in integrating and combining Family Dollar and Dollar Tree (it's sister company that until recently only few similarities and generic and sometimes conflicting corporate structuring) Yet now, it appears that Dollar Trees are being brought into Family Dollars and that corporate model is taking over its host... sometimes gradually and sometimes as a new location. Before being hired and starting to make observations, as a customer, I would always start out towards Family Dollar first, it always was my first stop on my brick and mortar rounds. I would easily dismissed as a fraud and a liar it I did not acknowledge the obviously floundering and seemingly immeasurable progress up or down. So when you are in the store, please try and remember that everyone working there really believes they are doing everything they possibly can to help the customers, help each other and help the company they work for. And for the most part, many of them could not do anything more or better. The news has covered the recent criminal events: remember that is in addition to the many unforeseen problems and unintended consequences which rocked the store to its foundation... so if they are in the store smiling, working as well as willing and available help... mentally... give that person a little credit and all the respect you would like to be shown. Their head is probably still spinning from the last 10 issues they were told... on top of 15 or so challenges they walked in with. We all have them, every day. If it comes to pass that you had a bad experience, know that it was definitely NOT you. And just as likely, that representative was just as powerless to circumnavigate a better outcome. WHEN YOU DO HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE-please, at the very very least THANK THEM... maybe post something here where you can be as case specific or anonymous as you like. If I'm there as a customer or still an employee and you figure out who I am, I would love it if you wanted to introduce yourself... Say hey!

Located next to the Food World Market on Lake Street, this store was like any other I walked into, anywhere in the USA. There is nothing in the store that ties this store to this geographic area. In today's new economic reality, where corporations are people, and middle class people are too expensive to be considered for labor and expendable, it pays to know the difference between the proliferating dollar store chains.

I must do a sidetone here: I don't like filtered coffee much as I drink espresso and espresso based coffee (Cappuccino, latte) when possible. However, when you travel with a large vehicle at 5 am, sometimes places with filtered coffee are the only option. One thing they have here, and quite popular in Vermont, is a selection of filtered coffee from "Green Mountain Coffee". To offer it, the have isolated coffee pots to keep the various kind hot, One thing that I worry in those cases is how long ago was this coffee made? Well, I noticed that these pots have little displays with indicators that lets you know how long ago the coffee was made! The place is not really a track stop but some trucks come here and there are diesel pumps for it,

This Maplefields gas station and convenience store is a regular stop while coming off the 89 for…read moregas when we are heading to to the US or heading back to Canada. It's close proximity to the border (roughly 10 miles) and their clean washrooms plus snack selection make it a good stop for us and help serve our needs. Gas was $2.49 a gallon on my stop for 87 octane which is a steal compared to the $1.20 we pay roughly a L in Quebec. They do also have free WIFI that there is no password to login to. On the way back home I was very pleased to pick up two 12 packs of Harpoon beer for $15.99 each. Harpoon is an awesome beer that Is Vermont/Boston brewed. They call it a New England IPA. If you like Sam Adams give Harpoon a try. Sure there is a closer gas station to the border but we enjoy hitting up this one in St Albans and will keep on doing so in our travels in the future!

These were just the major things I noticed. I hope that in the future the service/employee training improves.

Not the friendliest service but I'm sure when you are a regular here they don't mind chatting it up. Despite how much stuff they have they manage to keep a clean and organized space.

Lawn items and larger things are kept neatly along the side of the store out toward the back. Plenty of spacious parking and easy in and out. Prices are fairly competitive and they have regular promotional sales from time to time.

I found on one of the pumps (at least) debit cards aren't accepted, only credit (ummm ok). Folks behind the counter are polite and helpful but not outwardly friendly to "strangers". It's a small-town stop for sure as I've seen them chatting it up with the locals. But if I had to work a full-day shift here, I probably wouldn't be all "bright and cheery" to every gas pumper that showed up either. Bottom line: Island Beverage does the convenience store job and that's all it really does.
