Dollar Tree

It’s a Dollar Tree, you know the drill! This location is solid compared to others. It is always well-​stocked and organized, and the cashiers are usually pleasant. I stop in every now and again to stock up on party supplies, office supplies, seasonal décor and occasional cleaning products. The knock-​off Febreeze is pretty, pretty good. I am also a fan of the toy selection. I work with young kids, and Dollar Tree helps keep the office treasure box offerings interesting.
Also, let’s talk about the wrapping paper and other related accoutrements. Seriously good selection. I’ve never understood paying a lot of money for wrapping paper, bows, bags, or tissue paper. Not an issue though when it is only a dollar.

It gets more and more difficult to remember a world where there wasn’t a pharmacy or store with dollar in the name (dollar tree, dollar general, family dollar) on ever corner. They are everywhere. It seems like Dollar Tree in particular is spreading like wildfire — there’s one over on Albemarle Road. There’s one a bit further down Highway 51. Now there is one here in Mint Hill.
This isn’t to say that I particularly mind or anything — with the opening of Aldi, and the coming of Publix, before long, I’ll be able to do most anything without ever leaving Mint Hill, and that’s pretty cool. But dang, where does it end?
As to the store itself, it’s actually quite nice. Some of these «dollar» stores, due to age or simply neglect, have seen better days. This one is on the larger size, and has a fairly good selection, including seasonal items right up front. I’m still not sure that I’d buy food from the dollar store, but there are definitely a few things that aren’t bad to pick up from them, and the staff is nice as well, so it’s great for stocking up on a few things here and there!

Ah, the dollar store where stuff is actually a dollar. This location recently opened, and I like it a lot more than the location farther down Matthews-​Mint Hill Road. The employees were all friendly, and the store is clean, well-​stocked, and well-​organized. If things stay that way, this will be a great location.
