“Love this store.great organizing items. Love the silk flowers, I make si many different arrangements with them. Great to get Office/school supplies in the off seasons, books, crafts etc. The list goes on.”
“Love this place I pass up every store closer I could go to but always drop in this location , they always got what I need and the employees are awesome. Ron very cool guy makes sure I got what im looking for & good guy to talk to humble and people's person. I drop in couple times a week off my Pace route lol like Ron mentioned it's not the place it's the people!!! Cya ya guy's soon and keep up the GREAT WORK.”
“Its a real dollar store where everything really is $1. I hate the ones that you go in thinking its a $1 store but its not. (I think family dollar is one of those phony imposters. If I'm wrong about that then I apologize FD but I'm pretty sure it was you.)”
“I worked here for nearly a year and recently moved on but I continue to shop here. I loved my coworkers and I had the absolute Best manager ever. Everyone who works there has something to offer and is a good asset!! But too many times actually almost every day we would get terrible, entitled, disrespectful customers that would contribute to making our jobs harder. But aside from that… This store is probably the best Dollar General in Waukegan! I still get greeted when I shop and I’m able to have a good laugh and get what I need.”
“Lots of good items to get here for a budget price. Needs a bit more care with maintenance and organize items without having boxes ? just laying everywhere. It can feel overwhelming looking for things and it is hard to find the way its set up here.”
“I love that they consistently have certain items I go for & at really good prices. I also love the random stuff I find, like holiday decor. Really cute Easter items are out now and I keep checking back for new finds. Customer service has been excellent every time! ?”
“Courteous respectable employees. It would be 5 but its always some unopened boxes to open and shelved. That's dangerous someone could trip and hurt themselves”
“nothing bad out of my experience this time. ive definitely been to way worse. staff friendlier than im used to at these stores so thats a plus. floors were clean without boxes all over the place like other locations ive been to. a real staple for the neighborhood, its like an extra large discount convenience store now really.”

1313 N Lewis Ave, Waukegan“Busy during noon hours. Some restocking issues but better than before. Mostly one cashier during busy hours between a 10-20 minute wait. Sometimes close early due to mismanagement.”
8AM - 9PM
3414 Grand Ave, Waukegan“I came to this store this evening because it was on the way back home and I needed to get a few things. First thing I noticed was that this store was much more well-kept and organized than the other one in my area. While I was in there, there was a rude customer that had quite the mouth on her, so much so that my husband actually took my little children to the other end of the store. There were two workers there that I saw, Taylor the cashier and an employee named Jebriea who was on the receiving end of the foul mouthed customer. I wanted to say that I was so impressed by the absolute professionalism of this lady. I would never had been able to handle myself with such control as she did.
We were able to find everything we needed, and when we checked out the employee apologized for the customers behavior! They were amazing. We got to the dollar store at least 2 times a week, but because of this experience with this particular store, we will be coming exclusively to this store from now on. (Did I mention how CLEAN it was compared to the other one???)
All in all, I recommend this store to anyone who cares to read my review. And a shout out to whoever hired the employees..... You picked some good ones.”
“This family-owned store has stuff you'd never expect in a dollar-store- type operation. The people are really helpful and wonderful. It is a pleasure to shop here! You should check this place out!”
