Up to date, with all shelves neatly filled, by catagories when visiting in 6-22, the National Chain Dollar Tree store in Fountain, Colorado (near Walmart on Rt. 85), has at least for now become (unofficially) the Dollar (and a quarter) Tree store. Also, other more expensive house and appealing American lifestyle use items have been added on shelves as well. This gives a Target Store-like shelved items quality flavor, adding prices of 3, 5, and a couple of dollars more on new stock items as found in roughly a twelfth of the store.
All DT stores are typically similar -- as have changed pricing just past the recent 2021 year. Very few items have been cheapened in quality, for still maintaining comparatively low prices (while manufacturing and wholesale import and delivery to store transportation prices have risen as much as 3 or 4 times); some items quaility has in fact improved.
Stocked available items had been dwindling in availability during the second COVID year, with a related worldwide and Continental merchandise delivery transportation slow down. Breathing masks requirements have finally become nonobligatory to shop here. With USA average inflation around 9 percent, becoming so before the 2022 summer crops growing and vacation season, how long will the new $1.25 regular stock price basis hold (with unclear second half of 2022 drought and transportation retailing effects)?
Items sorely missed are the gallon sized laundry detergents, some personal toiletries (e.g. going from the very long lasting 6 blade razors, to the yet to be proven 5 blade ones [but with 3 instead of 2 per package], and dandruff shampoo for the kids lessening its medicinal content from 3 to 1 per cent). To offset these trends, we find led light bulbs replacing the tungsten ones totally, and new useful items in hardware, in electronic supplies, seasonally better water bottles, improved dishes, and continued children's activity workbooks and toys of proven child cultures interest. Picture frames stock is back up, office supplies, gardening supplies, etc. fully stocked.
No more empty shelf spots, nor missing shelf stock regulars indicate a "humplike speedbump" now as crossed hopefully over to be no longer invisibly present when crusing store asiles and finding arresting past spots empty. Food is still restricted to low cost items, but with variety, while certain items have disappeared. Overall the store feels inviting of the good and plenty. Management is pleasantly accessible and very well trained to assist all inquiries and in store interactions. This is an outstanding Dollar...
Read moreThe Dollar Tree which is dollar to quarter. Now is a hit mess. So you find a item or brain you like. It may not be there in the next time. I just used the way it is. You're barking shopping and going discount. But I go there just to get small items. And they sell food items, which is a pretty good deal for a lot of it. Especially barbecue sauce catch up and mustard. And if you're smart yourself it's more of a signal...
Read moreTrash removal should happen more often, and the parking lot is in very bad condition. Most of the stores are occupied, which is not usual for strip malls these days. The restaurant on the end does seem jinxed, though. Sarges was doing well pre covid, it seemed, but since they tried to expand right before covid and went under, nothing has done great there. Hopefully, whatever is incoming...
