02/15/26: I stopped in there today around 12:30PM as a first time customer to this location. I was…read morelooking for the combs & brushes. I needed a hair pick for my son who has fairly tight coils, 3C to be exact. After not finding one in Ross', several stores down...the associate there recommended Dollar Tree. I decided to go in and at least look. Once I found the correct aisle, I saw the two options the store did carry and knew they wouldn't work for 2 reasons: 1) Both were plastic ; 2) Both were primarily for detangling much looser hair coils. Nothing wrong with that...but for my son, his coils are tighter and I needed the classic hair pick with metal rods. That said, I asked the cashier if she knew of any other hair picks in the store besides the plastic options I already saw. She became very uncomfortable, uneasy, looked down and away....then deferred to her manager because she wasn't sure. Her manager, a male, approximately 5'7" early to mid 60s approached me after he helped a customer. Once I described what I was looking for, he looked down, stepped towards me and said with an arrogant tone, "We don't have picks for THAT hair type. What we have here...is what we have." I was like stunned. He was like totally speaking down to me because I wanted a product he didn't have...not to mention, it was for a biracial child. I am so, NOT quick to judge when it comes to racial prejudice. But this one really felt like it. The icing on the cake was him not even offering to come over to the aisle to see what I was looking at...because maybe I possibly missed something. Nor did he even reference DollarTree.com as a place to check, where I now see they have another option the store did not have. So, I really wonder what kind of environment that manager is cultivating there overall for his employees??

I stopped in here in search of some cheap picture frames. And of course anything else that might…read morecatch my fancy. You never know what you might find in an aisle. First thing I grabbed was a basket because I knew I was going to fill that up with things I had no intention of coming in here for in the first place. Since I did have an objective when I came in here at first, I went straight to where the frames were. It has been a while since I had been in the aisle where picture frames are located, but it appears that they are lacking in that area now. There wasn't that much variety of the frames. Loads of diploma frames, but hardly any other sizes of frames. So many diploma frames that they had most of the aisle full and an endcap. I attempted to try and see if there were any variety in the type of diploma frames, but to my dismay all I got was embarrassment for myself. I attempted to pull one of the frames out of the display and they were packed so tight in there that the glass broke and kind of went everywhere. After that, I gave up on the frames. I walked the rest of the store, basically throwing random items into my basket. The store was fairly well organized and clean. Checking out was a bit of a choir. The associate was nice, but they only had one register open which made it a slow process.

Some of the employees can be very short with customers, but I've also encountered some who are very helpful and friendly. The helium balloon choices can be hit or miss at times, but for the price I can deal with a limited selection. Beats driving to Harrisburg and paying five times as much at Party City. This is our go to place for party supplies and greeting cards. They have a small selection of themes (changes occasionally) as well disposable plates, napkins, cutlery and tablecloths in all basic colors. Greeting cards are Hallmark brand and priced at either $1 or 2/$1. Items are generally a mix of Dollar Tree and name brand items. Name brand isn't always a better deal here as it's usually in smaller packaging. Occasionally you can find great deals on items available for a short time only. At this location, we've previously found family size boxes of General Mills cereal (not expired) as well as Playmobil blind bags, although we haven't seen either since. This location is conveniently located next to Redner's in the Northside Commons strip mall.

No other store with this variety is nearby. I know when I'm in the area I make at least one stop. Don't forget to hold onto your receipt for weekday purchases. A $5.00 off coupon toward a $25.00 purchase for the following Saturday is attached on the bottom. Couple negatives- sometimes when you get up to the check out the clerk will say "I'll be right back" and then she will disappear for a while so you have to wait to pay. This location also asks to see your drivers license if you purchase throat lozenges. But it's OK to make U-turns in the middle of the road...I see the locals do it all the time. Also, lately I noticed they escort you on your way out of town (to make sure you're OK) by following behind your vehicle for a little while going very slow. They usually have their high beams on, even in the daytime. That's how they let you know it's them. So sweet!!
