Dollar General — Local services in Niceville

Conveniently located between Valparaiso and Niceville, this location is the closest thing to a grocery store in approximately 2-3 miles. A few minutes walk from Turkey Creek and other waterfront areas nearby makes it a nice store for last minute supplies, or a forgotten bottle of sunscreen or drinks. Cons- it can get quite crowded at times, and some aisles have displays poorly placed. You can also commonly and annoyingly find the huge carts containing unstick products usually placed in a already tight aisle, making it impassable with a cart. My biggest con is that the store is understaffed at all times and the wait in the line is painful, or during slower times at checkout you may be waiting on an employee to realize you're ready or have to search them down. They sadly do not take WIC but they do accept EBT, Credit and debit (chip reader works), and cash. Last few notes most of the staff is very friendly and helpful, sales are usually accurate, but most of the time the signs aren't removed after sales end so you find out during checkout the nice picture you have been eyeing was only %50 off a day or two ago. Last thing the beer cooler is never cold enough so beer is usually a little below room temp, so if you're like me and plan on popping one open as soon as you get home, you'll be a little upset. Overall I love the store and the digital coupons will save you tons of cheddar, there are a lot of negatives but somehow the positives keep my business and outweigh the...

I go in this place nearly every week for months while my child does tae kwon do next door, usually to pick up gap items in my grocery or grab snacks for child for after class. Today, I was stopped and told I had to leave my bag (that has my wallet and personal items in it) at the front or leave it in my car because it's a back pack. I'm assuming this is to prevent theft, however, leaving my purse in my car or at the front is putting me at risk of theft. This have never been an issue. I've carried this same bag in dozens of times. I don't appreciate being treated like a thief or being told in order to shop I should put myself at risk for theft. Also, I never saw a sign posted. Maybe there was, but I did not see this, it could have been in the cluster of papers that litter the door, as if that's an effective way to notify of a policy. I don't think I'll be going...

I would give more Stars as this location has "cleaned up" inside n outside of store. However, the home goods isles were, once again blocked with carts full of new arrivals. I've gone to DG to get some frames, mirrors n wall decs only to see isles blocked so I've turned around n left. I've also noticed the number if cars in parking lot, knowing a location only has 1 cashier, that I've turned around and left without entering store. When shopping for Christmas lights n decorations, though advertised, the items were not received. I will give higher ratings to any of the 4 DG locations I shop, on a weekly bases should I notice improvements or even attempts to make...
