Dirty and smelly. You might be able to get something for a dollar but it is only worth 10 cents. Everything is everywhere and stuff is still in boxes. It is definitely the WORSE dollar store I have ever been into. I wish I never went inside.

Sad, sad state of affairs. Came here for some party favors after checking out Boswell’s. As you enter you get hit in the face with a whiff of incense/cheap candles. All the aisles are disorganized and look as if a 2 year old stocked the shelves. There were several big piles of old holiday items about 6ft high. The place looked more like a garage sale than a store. Any more disorganized the fire Marshall might shut them down. And don’t even think of using the bathroom here, since the signs on the door are covered. Who knows or cares why. Will never return.

It’s good for throw away items like paper cups and utensils for parties, school supplies, wrapping paper and plastic goods. I dunno if I’d buy the candy there. I picked up some Haribo gummy candy and they literally were hard as a rock. One item was $ 1.48 I don’t remember seeing it listed on the package. If it’s more than $ 1 I think it should be listed on the package. Just saying. You don’t want to make your customers angry. I know Daiso says everything $ 1.50 unless it is listed differently. If you’re a bargain hunter, hit up JC, Boswell’s and Tuesday Morning and you’re pretty much set. All of them offer discount prices. I ended up getting some magnetic chip clips, plastic organizers for my bathroom, plastic storage cases and paper cups.

The WORST dollar store I have ever been to! I stopped in today to grab some stocking stuffers for my kids and was appalled at how cheap everything was and how messy the store was. I know it’s a dollar store, but this place looks like a garbage dump! The shelves have stuff randomly strewn about and there is garbage and broken items on the shelves and cardboard boxes just laying around the aisles! I did get a package of 18 sheets of tissue paper for a buck, but I will not be back. I’m also fairly certain these 5 star reviews are from their family. I’d rather wait patiently at the Dollar Tree in Dublin!

This is the first dollar store that I have seen in the area and quite frankly the best that I have been too. Other dollar stores are crowded and messy and have a selection limited to strange snacks and cheap arts & crafts. This store has an excellent inventory that includes school supplies, makeup, automotive supplies, first aid, household accessories, cleaning supplies, and everything your kitchen will ever need. The best part is that everything is a dollar or less! I almost forget to mention the best part: so much candy! :) I am a frequent customer and I would recommend to anybody!

If you live in Pleasanton, Dublin or San Ramon, you should go there for shopping. It’s a treasure hunt mission lol! Everything is under $ 1. They have everything stocked and organized. The products quality is way better than other dollar stores. To make the most of your shopping experience, keep in mind the following: DOs: — seasonal & party items — wrapping paper — greeting cards — school supplies — cleaning tools — kitchen stuff — storage containers — Soda, candy, cookies, juice, etc — household items like tin foil, sandwich bags, etc — kids toys Those are some of what I personally experienced :)

I was filling up gas at the Valero gas station on Santa Rita and noticed a new dollar store had recently opened in the shopping center. Most dollar stores I’ve been to carry merchandise of pretty low quality, but I love a bargain, so I couldn’t resist checking it out. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety and good quality of stuff that had for sale. It seems to be a family owned business, and a friendly family at that. They greeted me at the door and offered to show me around. A couple of sections in the store that I particularly liked: 1. The first aid/medical section stocked my whole first aid kit for pennies on the dollar. As the coach of a basketball team, this comes in handy on gameday. 2. The kitchenware & cleaning supplies section carries most everything I find at grocery stores but for a fraction of the price. 3. Soda, candy and food galore. Good for stocking up before a movie. I could tell they were still setting up, as the shelves weren’t completely full, but they assured me more merchandise was on the way. I’m looking forward to stopping by again to find out.
