"Nice selection of items. Do not go downstairs it really smells bad."

"Amazing selection of anything you could possibly need, both cheap and quality versions of everything. Owner of this store is really nice and takes pride in his shop, he was walking the isles helping customers and got behind the second register as soon as a line formed."

"Nice selection of items. There's a downstairs area as well. Staff is always friendly and helpful."

"Great store, I know about all the new people who complain about dollar stores but they've been a welcome staple of lower income communities for decades and if you feel they are trash, don't shop there or maybe move to higher income areas. That said it's a wonderful place has everything you would expect in a dollar store plus, it is also a discount store for furniture, Bed and Bath , kitchen including pots, pans, canned and frozen foods, curtains electronic,, toiletries, clothing etc. and more. I enjoy browsing in dollar stores and this is one of the better ones, well lighted, clean and courteous."

"I came here to get a pom hat and two luggage tags, and while I managed to get a pom hat, the thing I must complain about is the cashier not letting me touch the credit card reader to make sure myself the reader does not have a credit card skimmer. I wanted to do a tap, or if it doesn't work, a chip insert, and even then for the sake of my security, I wanted to check there are no skimmers on the card reader. I explained to them and a security guard that a credit card skimmer is a device criminals install on readers to not only steal a person's credit card information, but also to conduct fraud transactions, a combination of both identity and money theft. I even mentioned to the security guard about YouTube videos talking about it. And I tried explaining to them on how criminal groups can distract even a cashier's attention to install a credit card skimmer that the cashiers won't notice that well, but I was seriously interrupted by the security guard who contemplated about me not trusting the cashier. Credit card skimmers are meant to trick and deceive users that they look like the real credit card reader because they really look like one, but they are not. They use sticky adhesive to make it stick to on top of the actual readers. From watching numerous YouTube videos and reading some website pages, the way a customer can check whether or not a credit card skimmer is installed is by giving a hard tug and pulling the top of the credit card reader itself, and looking around for elements that shouldn't be there. If the top is Even then, the cashier still wouldn't let me touch the credit card reader. They just kept on telling me to go to the bank, which while it's helpful in tracing back to where the identity and money theft comes from, it doesn't help with preventing someone from becoming a victim in the first place. So I ended up having to use cash anyway, which I felt it was stupid to do, all for just one thing I wanted to do myself. That's why I give this place two stars instead of a higher rating. Credit card readers must always be checked for skimmers because it's not only about preventing myself from being a victim of identity and money theft. It's about others as well. I am not impressed by their practices."
