“I love the many low cost practical items sold here. You can't find them sold anywhere else and they are very innovative. If you go in you be spending more time than expected - it's like you have found a great toy store for adults. I wish they had even more stuff. Also, they have a no return policy.”
“My kids and I are in love with this Five Below location. It's spacious and clean. The staff is nice and always greet us at the door and help us scan and check out. The prices are decent and the selection is actually quite unique.
There are some gems here. My little one loved the Mini Food Brand box. I love the pet toys and the incense selection. My other kid love the tech stuff here.
There is something new every time we come. Pretty cool store!”
“I like this Grocery Outlet, I come here frequently due to their good prices and convenient location. The only reason I took away a star is becuase of the cashier Braiden (has thick red unkept hair). He is so rude when he is checking out customers. He doesn't greet you or attempt any niceties, he just gruffly tells you your total and that's it. He never offers to help bag my groceries, instead he just watches as i bag my own items. He also never says anything when i am done, no "have a good day" or "thanks for coming in." Nothing. I have been checked out by him many times and he always has the same attitude. My mother in law has complained about him and the same things, even to the store manager.”
“Haven’t been to a big lots in a while since the Laguna Hills one closed down. This one feels a little cramped but has some great selections. A lit less furniture and more food items (snacks). The staff was Friday each time.”
“I go to here from Irvine. This store in particular is right next to the 90 OCTA Bus line, so it's actually cheaper for me to come here on the bus than to drive to the Walmart. DT has better deals than 99c Store, so naturally it attracts more people. I understand how the clerks can be stressed at times. I personally didn't have much trouble with anyone. I'd set expectations accordingly, there is only so much bottom line retail stores can do.”

“Very good experience, we had help, I couldn't get my discount coupons on my phone, and they very kindly helped me and if I got my discounts, they are two ladies, thank you very much for your service. It makes a difference to be a satisfied customer”
“With just a little over a week until Christmas, I found myself in need of gift name tags and bags. Venturing into Dollar Tree, I was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of Christmas items still in stock. While they were unfortunately out of holiday name tags, I stumbled upon a charming paper gift bag adorned with festive prints. Pairing it with the red-themed tape I discovered, it turned out to be a whimsically creative alternative to traditional name tags. The large red premium marker for Santa was an unexpected find that added a delightful touch.What truly stood out was the impeccable organization of the store, accompanied by the faint, reassuring scent of cleaning products. It created a pleasant shopping environment that enhanced the overall experience.As I perused the aisles, I couldn't help but notice the professional and courteous interactions among the store's co-workers. The positive camaraderie was a stark contrast to the typical vibe in most retail stores, contributing to a more enjoyable and stress-free shopping atmosphere.In the realm of Dollar Trees, this particular store surpassed expectations. Despite any extra distance to get there, the well-organized layout, creative holiday finds, and the welcoming ambiance make it my preferred choice among others. It's a gem where the holiday spirit extends beyond just the merchandise on the shelves.”
“This is not the best Grocery Outlet that I have frequented. The lines are sometimes long and the selection is not as diverse as it could be. Otherwise it meets the Groc Out niche adequately.”

27582 Antonio Pkwy, Ladera Ranch“It's been my favorite store since I discovered it. Here you can find some European products that cannot be found in another store or for the price much more expensive. I love this store especially because of the various sorts of cheese and vine, and because whenever I visit it it has a different assortment of products and I never know what I will buy this time for really cheap price.”
“(Translated by Google) A store where you can find what you need for daily basic purchases, excellent service in Spanish for sending checks to family members in Mexico. Congratulations.(Original)Una tienda en dónde puedes encontrar lo necesario para las.cpmpras diarias de básicos, excelente servicio en español para envíos de cheques a.familiares.en México. Felicidades.”
“I am so excited to find out we have a new Grocery Outlet. I usually go to the one in Lake Forest, and having one closer is priceless. I love the hours; I shop early and the store opening at 7:00 AM makes my shopping day productive. Parking is plenty, easy access, clean store, some friendly employees, some not so friendly -but honestly, I really do not care. I come to buy stuff, in and out quickly - and with a tight budget this place rocks! I have specific items I shop there as part of my grocery list and there are items that are continuously sourced, so I am happy. I love the prices and in my particular case, the selection for my type of diet. You can find other things too, like kitchen items, laundry items, shampoo, paper towels, even sleepers! The selection varies as they source whatever is available at that time. What you find one week, might not be there next week. Think of this store like the TJ Maxx, of grocery stores. Come with an open mind to find treasures, new things, new brands, and for that - this store is great! Not, only you will get to try new things, it would be at a great price. Thank you, Grocery Outlet for coming to town.”
“Love this location. I can't get my mom out of the store. She loves it. Staff is pleasant. Sometimes you got to share your happiness with others to get theirs in return.”

“Very clean and organized store. They carry many cute items that I had not seen in other Dollar Tree location. They also have a large food section. I recommend this location.”
“Very large and organized compare to other locations. They carry a wide variety of products that I do not see in other Dollar Tree stores. Good place to stroll and find random stuff. Will go back.”
“I did a quick stop at this location. It was great seeing the new seasonal merchandise. Even tho it was more than$1.25 yet still saving over regular retail. I got a storage basket for $5, Dawn platinum dish soap for $3. Auto window cleaner for $3. I loved Luis cashier postive attitude. So refresshing to have had contact with an exceptional employee. He informed me of the cost of any item over the $1.25. Much appreciated.”

22477 El Toro Rd, Lake Forest“Crazy how much of everything they have available. A little bit of everything.
Halloween decor, home decor, food, snacks, greeting cards, car cleaning and basic maintenance supplies, shower stuff, kitchen accessories, party accessories, etc.
Store was really clean and surprisingly organized. 2nd visit here. No crazy mess in the aisles. Very well lit.
Staff is helpful. Today’s cashier was Josh. Very kind young man.”
“Ross Dress ? for Less is a similar line with TJ Maxx and Marshall’s. Sone say it's slightly higher tier than the two. Generally speaking, it's a good place for shopping good deals for less than than the high street. It gets little bit hectic over the weekend.”
“Dollar stores have become a popular retail phenomenon, offering a wide variety of items at a fixed, low price point. They are known for their affordability and convenience, making them a go-to option for budget-conscious shoppers. The stores typically stock a range of products, from household goods and cleaning supplies to toys and groceries. Their business model is based on purchasing items in bulk, often overstock or closeout merchandise, which allows them to keep prices low. For many, dollar stores are a treasure trove of deals, providing a cost-effective way to shop for everyday needs. <|\im_end|>
