Dollar Tree Stores

Stuff here is incredibly cheap, it’s a dollar store obviously. So you can’t expect too much in the realm of cleanliness, stuff is always strewn about, or quality, things are a dollar after all, but can I at least ask for friendliness? The black girl with blonde wig is always surly, rude, and unfriendly.
Dear owner… find somebody new to work the register. My ‘thank you’, shouldn’t be responded to with a bitter ‘mm-​hmm.’

Compared to the last dollar store, (if you would even call it a «store» lol!) I shopped at a coule weeks ago, this store was MUCH friendlier and more helpful. The employees were very pleasant and made you feel welcome there. When I asked which isles certain items were in, the store employees took the time to physically show me instead of just pointing and indicating that it was somewhere over ‘there’, which happens a lot in some stores. How I hate that so much, when store employees who don’t want to be bothered with doing their job just try to dismiss you as quickly as possible! Here, that was certainly NOT the case at all. The employees were very obliging and seemed to enjoy doing their jobs, which is assisting customers.
The selection itself was pretty wide, and I was especially impressed with how many frozen foods they had. I’ve been to other traditional dollar stores that don’t even have a frozen foods section, lead alone one as large as this Dollar Trees had. I also felt like the merchandise was very well organized and presentable to customers. Items which belong together were grouped together in the designated isles, and the only item I had trouble finding were a pair of pot holders, which I did eventually find with the help of one of the store associates who was very helpful. (After all that ‘trouble’ I decided not to even purchase them, lol)
I’ve shopped here quite a few times now and each time I’ve been in here I have always had good experiences. The store itself is very clean and of course their prices can’t be beat! How would you be able to beat their price when everything is as cheap as it is, lol! Definitely a five stars rating overall!

I’m rating a dollar store here so I’m comparing to other similar stores. This place is fairly large even though it doesn’t appear so on the outside, they have at least 4 rows that extends far to the back. One of the few places where I saw a selection of frozen foods. They also have things here I haven’t seen from other dollar stores such as loofa on stick, a large selection of candles, snacks and candy, and they even had a selection for aluminum foil! Overall The area the store is located is not where I like to go persay but there is a McDonald’s there, Payless, Burlington factory and a small place where Jamaican beef patty is awesome.

Ha, this place is Crazy!!!
I have a lot of fun here.
This is the only place i will give 4 stars on a store where the employees are super nasty and rude. No one smiles, they all hate there jobs and that’s what makes it pretty funny.
They have a selection of hot sauces not found in Southington. Louisiana hot sauce and another brand I only can find in California.
It has a lot of things that I can use and I have to travel though Bloomfield on a monthly basis so I like stopping herel

I had time to kill before work so I stopped by to check out the Dollar Tree. I didn’t like any of the shops in the Stop and Shop plaza so Dollar Tree was the only option. I’m glad I stopped because I noticed this Dollar Tree had an amazing selection of Tupperware and some old time candy. They had tons and tons of candy from the 1950s. I used to remember enjoying them when I was younger, I don’t have them often but knowing that I can find them was a nice feeling. They had Lemonheads, Jawbreakers, Cry Babies, Black Forest Gummies, Boston Baked Beans, Red Heads etc. If you’re into creating gift baskets these boxed candies always come in handy if you’re aiming to please someone from a certain era. Aside from the amazing candy isle for they had Jamaican biscuits (cookies).
I didn’t go crazy and fill a cartful, I simply just walked around and made a mental note of things I can find for a $ 1. They have tons of brand name items but packed smaller than their normal retail size. Sometimes it’s a wacky flavor that’s only popular in certain parts of the country. For example I saw a few Betty Crocker kitchen accessories, I didn’t purchase any but for someone in college that’s a great buy. You buy and use for a semester and trash. With the Dollar Tree you have to be very careful because sometimes they have knockoffs that look like the real deal but instead of a bull they will use a cow with the same color scheme. I only purchase things I’m knowledgeable about or otherwise I purchase items I know I won’t regret wasting $ 1 on.
The selection at this store is amazing compared to the other dollar stores I have been to. The lines are LONG LONG and the isles are always crowded because the staff is always stocking the shelves. I hate the lines but this is my go to place for gift bags. I don’t do cards from here because they’re cheaply made but haven’t noticed the quality in the gift bags. I will buy coconut biscuits here and will grab weird flavored drinks. If you’re looking for gift basket fillers this is the place to find «junk» to add onto the main gift. Seriously where else can you find COLD SORE cream at the registers?
Oh if you don’t know the area well, just be mindful. I wouldn’t go after 5PM.
