Excellent place to find mostly small items that you need, like tools, dishes, kitchen and washroom accessories, and office supplies. Really cool guy runs this place. No longer sells lottery tickets, so the line goes by a lot faster!

This place is AMAZING!!! It is the best spot in Hyde Park!! You can find many random things. They have anything you want like school supplies, hardware stuff, cleaning supplies, souvenirs, candy and junk food, canned food, drinks, tobacco products, medicine, and all the other things I forgot to mention! It is very convenient they have everything. The store is small but it is LOADED with stuff, you’ll find yourself spending some time there because they have various things! Above that the store is not expensive at all, in matter of fact it is one of the cheapest around that area. The guys who work there are very helpful, pleasant, and HILARIOUS! They all speak multiple languages which is interesting and cool. One guy speaks French(as do I: D) which is great because we chat together, he is funny! Overall the place is wonderful and convenient. I love this store!

This is a great dollar store! Lots of random, interesting things. Ranges from kitchenware(lots of tupperware, cups, etc), to canned food, to children’s toys and party supplies. They sell plenty of stuff that nowhere else in Hyde Park carries. The vast majority of items are $ 1.

This is my goto dollar store. I buy almost everything here. I take my pennies, stack em up and feel like a big baller when I go to this store. I have bought presents, cards, school supplies, personal care items, just about everything I might need here. The owner is very friendly and the little Mexican dude someone just mentioned, he is kind of the muscle of the store, he will get something for you if you ask but he mostly stocks the shelves. He is quiet but nice :) I love this store.

One of two dollar stores in the neighborhood, and though it’s the smaller one, it’s the better one. It’s got a diverse selection of cheaply made but mostly useful products, exactly what a neighborhood dollar store ought to be. The Egyptian guys who run it are friendly, but the Mexican guy just sort of glowers at you(never helps you find anything or seems to know where anything is; is he security?) Be aware that some things are a bit more than $ 1, and they also sell cigarettes and tobacco products.

I’m going to go ahead and agree with the other reviewers and call out this store as AWESOME! It is part small grocer, part pharmacy, part gift shop, part tobacco store, and everything else I forgot to list. And the prices are low low LOW. You’ll spend longer in here than you think because every inch of the place is filled with interesting goods! The guys who own this place are friendly, accommodating, so kind to their locals, and they run a great business!

I find excuses to get grocery staples like hot sauce and bags of dried black-eyed peas here – I could go somewhere else less atmospheric without breaking the bank, but it wouldn’t be as much fun. It’s a bit like a very clean and orderly low-budget bazaar. The owner(or one of the staff) mentioned that Michelle Obama used to buy school supplies at this place for her kids. He enjoyed her friendliness and lack of pretention. And when I think of all the hours and trees I’ve saved by ditching the whole wrapping paper and ribbon thing for presents and just picking up one of the cheap yet pretty and tasteful gift bags instead(southwest corner of the store facing east), I’m really grateful. The guys behind the counter are gracious, welcoming, and funny. My only regret is that the area off to the back is closed to customers and used for storage, and it’s supposed to have been some kind of speakeasy, so it’s probably loaded with history and atmosphere.

YES! I am so excited about Unilocaling about this amazing little jem. Please stop in here if you are in the mood for a treat. They have everything random you may never consider… a bike lock perhaps, just $ 1! A year’s supply of Aloe, just $ 1! If you forgot to buy a wing to jazz up your going out on the town outfit, just $ 1! Its amazing, the owner and service is funny and extremely nice. I love this little store, and stop in there to get mostly anything often!
