Dollar General — Local services in Fenwick Island

The young lady at the cash register was this place's only saving grace. As I was walking in, the sign on the door stated 'covers the nose and mouth before entering the store.

Dollar General is Dollar General, right? Well, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this location actually has art supplies, including brushes, acrylic paints, small pallets and canvases.

The store in general was pretty clean and they have great deals on seasonal clearance. Staff was helpful and friendly so I would definitely return when...
