I would give this 99 cts store a 5-star rating if I was just comparing it to all the other 99 cts stores I've ever been to (mostly in LA). The variety here is great; I couldn't believe the variety of kitchen items, food containers, even dog toys! Also impressive was how organized it was, again compared to other 99 cts stores! read more

I don't know if they've set a date yet, but apparently all of the 99 Cents Only Stores will be closing. They're currently offering between 5 and 30% off of everything in the store, and are preparing to sell the store fixtures, shelves, etc... This is probably the first stage of liquidation, as there's still a pretty good selection of everything, including produce and perishables (as of last night, anyway). Customer service is no more lacking than usual. Definitely still some great deals to be had. read more

This location of The 99 Cents Only store on Hwy. 111 has NOT had air conditioning for many months. I say Code Enforcement should shut it down AND ensure ALL the employees who have suffered for months--especially now in the Palm Desert summer heat--should continue to receive FULL PAY and RESTITUTION for having to have worked in a store with no AC for months. SHAME ON THE OWNER OF THIS BUSINESS! Please call the corporate office in Commerce at (323) 980-8145, and ask for the director. Also, call Code Enforcement at (760) 393-3344. Call OSHA at (800) 963-9424. And call Representative Raul Ruiz! read more

Haven't been to this location in a long time and boy is it run down now! All the employees that I interacted with were super friendly which is great but the store was filthy!!!! I don't think I've ever seen a bathroom as dirty. I didn't think about taking photographs but there was literally blood dripped all over the floor in the women's restroom. People trying on clothes in the bathroom when I went in. I'll stick to the La Quinta location. read more

This particular 99 cent store is larger than the store in Cathedral City. They have a "gourmet", section that was well stocked shelves of spices, international foods and gluten free pasta. All for 99 cents. Who knew? I picked up a couple of mats to use under my dogs dishes. One has a cute paw print cut out on it. 99 cents each, who knew? They carry Alps and Gravy Train dog food. Cat supplies, as well as cat and dog toys. 99 cents each, who knew? Well the dog food was under 99 cents. I think someone priced it incorrectly. Maybe they didn't know? I love their veggie and bread section. Cucumbers, radish, lettuce, both romaine and iceberg. Carrots, artichokes, lemons, and peppers. All 99 cents, who knew? My favorite section are the seasonal aisles. I bought several red Santa fedora hats and cowboy hats, along with a load of shiny baubles, glued them to the hats....boom... Instant Christmas cheer. All for 99 cents. Who knew? Now YOU know! read more

99 Cents Only Stores - Made with 99 cent store finds. - Discount Store Near Me - Palm Desert, California

this store is not even 99c it's actually sometimes $2.29c plus it's not just cents it's also dollars. I am never going to this store EVER and I mean EVER again. I'm very disappointed with having to drive all the way to a 99c store and not even everything being 99. I'm also very upset with the fact that they didn't even have what ppl were looking for. ps NO KNOTTS COOKIES. my boyfriend who is dying of cancer just wanted those for his last snack and yet he died without them. i hope ppl know how this store impacted my mental health life and how my boyfriend died without his favorite cookies. read more

Thank you Virginia and staff for making our shopping visit a very pleasant experience. Such a clean and well stocked store.

I love this place because of all the bargains. I took a friend here once, and h had never been to such a store. I was shocked that he actually went into a shopping frenzy and filled his basket with 88 items. When the cashier rang up the bill and it came to under $88. he almost ran back to buy more They have a huge selection from greeting cards to cookware to food items etc etc Yo are sure to find something yo can use here, and I won't break your bank account read more

You have no idea how much I missed these stores after I moved from SoCal. Now that I'm back, I've had a happy reunion with 99 Cents Only stores. Not all dollar stores are created equal. This chain has some savvy buyers, snatching up overstock on some quality items. On a recent trip, we found replacement mop heads for the Method Power Mop ($5 each at Lowe's). Video cables? Check. Organic arugula? Check. Bag of peppers? Check. I try to check this place before I head anywhere else for items that will surely cost more elsewhere. read more

I think this store is very nice. It runs smoothly. The staff is kind and the shelves are usually stocked. Sometimes there are long lines, but they move pretty quickly. read more

Monday morning around 8:10am, I walked in the 99Cents store on highway 111. The cashier (Mariah) was walking around by the register on her cellphone. When I greeted her and mentioned that I wanted to exchange a few items, her response was that she wouldn't be able to make the return. I proceeded to mentioned that I had the receipt and that I only wanted to exchange. She barely looked at the receipt and said that she would have to have manager approval. Told me to take my return/exchange with me until the manager could consider my request. I went to retrieve the items I was planning to buy. The manager approached me and said that the return policy is only 9 days and that's on the receipt. I told her that I have the receipts for the 3 items I wanted to exchange and that each item has is on receipt. She barely looked at the receipt as if I was asking her for a favor. She approved one return since it was within the 9 days. Now the receipt that was passed due by one day the manager with an attitude said she could not make the exception because she didn't want to get fired. The manager clearly is new in retail, because making an exception is what we call providing customer service. The worst part was that she didn't even wanted to speak to me, she walked away as she said " I don't want to get fired" told the cashier that she would only approve the one item within the 9 days. I have been shopping at that location for a very long time and it was the first time I had encountered a rude, less interested manager looking to have no interaction with a paying customer! Really! I was not asking for my $1.99 back, I only wanted to exchange it. I mentioned to her that the was the first time I had encountered such a negative manager and that I had never had a negative interaction with anyone else in that store. She made sure to let me know that she was the store manager and that no one should be making exceptions. I drove to the 99cents store on Monterey and Amanda the store manager was kind and respectful to look at the receipt and the item. I explained that the item was in perfect condition and that I had been made aware by a rude cashier and rude store manager (young Hispanic, maybe in her mid 20s or early 30s) that I was passed the 9 days of the return policy. Amanda made the exception and took the time to apologize. I even ended up buying a lot more items that the $1.99 I was looking to exchange. I won't be back to the 99 Cents store on highway 111. That store manager acted as if I had ask to return $1,000.00 in product. Complete saddened by the incident, because that store has some amazing ladies and gentlemen working at that location. Maybe the business motto is that a customer that spends $0.99 cents is less valuable than a customer that shops at Nordstrom. read more

They cannot change a $100 bill. They have people standing at the register that don't know how to make change. They have people standing at the register that are using foul, swear word language. read more

I just witnessed a man mistreat a few cashiers here as if they were beneath him. He was extremely vulgar and racist! I only stood near because I felt obligated, as a decent human being, to support them - even if in silence. I did not say anything - just stood near, prepared. It saddened me the people who looked the other way, how no one was helping. I am very impressed with how the employees dealt with this issue, and all I could do was ask if they were okay and tell them they were amazing in how they handled the issue ever so gracefully. You know what the cashier said? She said, he was probably just having a bad day. If you had heard what he was saying, any average person would have either thrown fists around or run off in tears. Whoever is the Manager here, give this woman a raise because a person of that character and strength is hard to find. For all of you shoppers out there, please do something. Even if it's to just stand by. Sometimes it IS best not to say anything, but please do something. Turning a blind eye is just the same as approving of this mistreatment. read more

This is a store that is a hidden budget maker !! I can shop for produce, frozen foods, spices, kitchen and household. Reading glasses, books, small toys, the list goes on and on. I love shopping here and recommend to anybody of any income bracket to go and save !!! read more

There is a new manager. Her name is Allison. Her employee's name is Al. I will be writing a letter to the general manager, Marcos Corona. Don't waste your time going here. Give your hard earned cash to another 99 cents store (they are everywhere and trust me this one is not that special). Why this 'high-school' attitude old lady got the manager job beats the hell out of me. I wanted a plastic cup 12" from my reach. She had 3 cones blocking the area they were working in so they could 're-stock' without letting customers shop. I reached over to grab a cup and she said something rude, and then said I almost fell. I said lady my flip flop hit the cone, I didn't almost fall. Probably didn't graduate high school. And then she and her employee AL started laughing and saying smack about me. I mentioned I would contact her manager.I doubt she figured I would get the names and come back to her to get her last name (clearly the girls at the front didn't like her either as they gave me her name). When I came back she was laughing about it to her employee AL and acting like she was 12. I was standing right there. She's refused to give me her last name. She asked me what mine was and I told her. What's the big deal lady, if you are right in your treatment of a customer, why act like you never graduated High School. Anyway, I told her I would write a letter. She ran after me screaming at me telling me I am banned from the store. Really? And she is a manager? Smooth move Carlos. Nice hiring. She really is not management material and what manager coaxes her employee to laugh and make jokes about a customer. About a minute after their whole display tipped over. LOL---karma---idiot. Trust me, I don't need to go to that store. Like I said--there are much better ones with nicer people and managers who actually know how to manage. Eek! Methinks not--People, you work for your money. Spend it where it's deserved. read more

This place is a dirt bag like me. So many things are just plain wrong there and it's never their fault! I will take my cash and toe tapping impatience else where. I'm in a hurry so get out of my way. read more

Love , love, love 99c store...they have Asian veggies and mushrooms now. Service is good...oh and mints too...

Unlike the 99 cent store on Monterey, this 99 cent store is much nicer, cleaner and the AC works properly. I have seen cops at the other store with someone in custody every time I've gone. No thanks. read more

They have a variety of fresh veggies and fruits and brand name groceries. When I'm looking for something specific and I call to see if they have what I need before wasting gas to drive there, the employees are very nice and helpful over the phone and take the time to check if they have available what I need. read more

Yes... You can save $ here. Gotta look around. The sad thing is I'm told by employees in this store and others the owner and management don't give a hoot about them and that is sad. read more

A typical 99 cent store. I've been to my fair share of them and this is definitely bigger and a lot neater, but in regards to the item selection, it's basic run-of-the-mill stuff. Great deals on household items (like sponges, containers, candy), but nothing to go out of your way for. read more

This location needs improvement. EVERY SUMMER the AC stops working which is horrible for the customers and employees, not to mention the melted chocolates on isle 3. This company is multimillionaire and can afford to have this problem solved. I've gotten mosquito bites while shopping there because of the heat. The check-out lines are always LONG and I do not blame the employees because they have apologized and said they are short-staffed. This company has the power to improve but they choose not to. read more

We spent two weeks in California at a time share with a kitchen and found the 99 cent Only Stores great for small amounts of food and produce. We really enjoyed their four salad pack and the huge stalk of Brussel Sprouts that tasted like they were just picked. If you are visiting and need small amounts of groceries and great produce make these stores your first stop! read more

Great store. I always find a lot of fantastic bargains of name brand items. Sure there are alot of cheap items that I wouldn't buy but if you look for them there are ALOT of brand names available as well. I fill a cart every time. This is where you want to stock up!!! I usually hate to shop any where but I get excited when I arrive at The 99¢ Only Store!!!!! ching......ching read more

99 cents is one of my favorite stores to explore when I come to California. We went in last night to grab some snacks to keep in the kitchen at the resort. We found everything we were craving and more. The only thing I took a star off for was the face that a pregnant cashier was just standing there and acted like she didn't want to take customers, so she had the sign out saying "next register please." There was a long line. Finally, she took us and a lady behind us. You can't have one register open and have 10 people waiting in line to get out of there. read more

Dropped my wallet after paying. Young male cashier found it, turned it in and notified me. Thank you, thank you. Boosted my faith in humanity.. read more
