Dollar General — Local services in Town of Cohocton

I often write reviews for places I visit, but this one feels deeply personal — because what happened here went far beyond a regular store experience.

We were visiting from Toronto when our car suddenly broke down in the middle of the night. Not knowing what to do, we pulled into this dollar store’s parking lot just to figure things out. What we didn’t expect was the kindness and humanity we received from the staff.

Despite it being so late, the staff came outside and did everything they could to help us. They didn’t treat us like strangers — they treated us with real care, like human beings in need. They allowed us to safely leave the car in the parking lot overnight and even throughout the next day, as it took us over 24 hours to get everything sorted.

During that time, the store became our little support system. It had everything we needed — food, essentials, even small comforts while we waited. But what truly stood out was the staff, especially Marissa and Sally. These two women are not just professional — they are genuinely good people. The kind you rarely meet. They never made us feel like a burden, only extended compassion and support in every way they could.

I honestly can’t thank them enough. This wasn’t just about good customer service — it was about humanity. They helped us when we were stuck and vulnerable, and I will never forget that. I only wish I could do more for them in return.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you. If you’re ever nearby, please support this store. It’s more than just a place to shop — it’s a place filled...

To be honest, I think they should change their name. If I had to guess I would say less than 20% of their items are a dollar or less. Their prices aren't that great. $3.50 for a bag of Doritos? Place was empty too. That speaks volumes. Appears to be poorly managed too, 3 employees were on the clock and 2 of them were hiding out in the managers office...

Paid 27 dollars for balloons to be filled, and a couple weren't even filled all the way, and the ones that were at least inflated most of the way, where shriveling up...
