It's about time that somebody put a Dollar Tree store out in Arvin, a local community with an…read moreeconomy fueled by local farms and the people who work on them. Many of these people operate on a family budget so small that many of us can't even comprehend how they make ends meet, and gas is too expensive to continually make trips into Bakersfield to go shopping. Dollar Tree carries a wide variety of items, all at $1 (or less) each. Now Arvin residents have an affordable local option to meet many of their everyday household needs. Dollar Tree carries everything you need for those special celebrations: greeting cards, party supplies (cups, plates, napkins, party favors, and decorations), wrapping supplies (gift bags and boxes, wrapping paper, tissue paper, bows, and ribbons), even party favors for the kids. I found towers full of reading glasses and sunglasses that would cost from $5-$15 if purchased elsewhere. There are all kinds little toys to entertain the kids. I spent quite a bit here on toys to put in the prize box of my kindergarten classroom. Speaking of classrooms, Dollar Tree also has a small section of teacher friendly items in their "Teachers' Corner" and an aisle full of office / school supplies. I picked up some colorful sentence strips and mini pocket charts to use during center time in my classroom. If you're looking for cleaning supplies for your house they carry a wide variety of cleansers, sprays, sponges, and wipes to get keep your house spotless. When you're done with the housecleaning, you can clean yourself with soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, and toothpaste, not to mention hair products, brushes, headbands, and barrettes. Yes, some of these are off-brands, but they also carry major brands such as Colgate, Aim, Close-Up, White Rain, and others, and all at the same low price of $1 each. They also carry picture frames, candles, incense, pet supplies, automotive supplies, some light hardware items. There are plates, cups, bowls, plastic storage containers, and kitchen gadgets galore. There are aisles full of food, too, and even candy. Many of the candy bars such as Milky Way, snickers, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to name a few are $.79 instead of a dollar, though the larger boxes and bags of things such as Milk Duds and Hot Tamales are $1. There are so many bargains to be found at Dollar Tree. Whether you're open to shopping off brand items or prefer to stick to names you already know and trust, you'll find much to help you stay within even the most limited budgets here. And that's something this community really needs.

I recommend the champagne if you have a large group (I had 7). Rachel found a few new dresses to try on along with my top 4. I had time to think about my favorite for 2 weeks and compare it to other dresses that day. So I highly recommend this strategy if you like time to make decisions as well. I had a wonderful experience and my group felt they were attended to.

Dave answered all questions and invited us down to the shop for a free demo, which we did. We were welcomed by Dave, who went over the bikes and how the worked. We rode around the parking lot a bit. We are old, and it's been a long, long time since we've been on bikes. We did not rent them as my wife felt she needed to up her basic bike skills first. Back to today. We arrived at our our scheduled rental time and were again greeted by Dave. Super friendly, super patient, super easy to work with. He reviewed the bike operation again, set us up with helmets and locks. Explained where to ride and what to do. I thought the rentals were reasonably priced, the bikes are in great shape we had a ball. A long-winded way of saying this place and the staff are great, and it's a very fun outing. If/when we're in the market for an e-bike I'd seriously consider purchasing here just based on service received. Until then, we plan on some more rental rides!

It's perfect for all ages, whether you're a seasoned rider or trying an electric bike for the first time. Don't miss out on this way of exploring Bakersfield with the great off the road bike trails that are most flat smooth trails.

Even if you don't know what you are looking for, Dennis, Claudia & their family will help you find it. They are so patient, knowledgeable and down-to-earth. You might see them at the home show, the fair grounds, or like me - at Costco! But wherever you see them, be sure to chat them up about their products, you'll be glad that you did. I love their no-pressure sales approach and the considerable amount of knowledge they are willing to share. They have everything from smaller two or four person models, right on up to a large swim spa for the whole family! They even have models that can cool the water to around 60 degrees!And let's face it, with Bakersfield's summer heat, that could make for one refreshing dip! This makes a swim spa or hot tub a serious competitor when considering installing a built-in pool. With it being cooler than your pool and less cost and maintenance. We had our tub installed in November of 2023 and I have to say, it's awesome! The team at Hot Tubs Plus delivered, installed it and set it up. The process was pretty easy and with the model that we decided on, maintenance is a cinch. The saltwater system that we added on is fantastic and really helps with my sensitive skin. We love our new spa and it's been an amazing addition to our outdoor living space.

I told them at the service department that the bike would not shift gears going up, that the shifter only worked right when downshifting. Imagine my surprise when they text me less than three hours later saying my bike is ready. It seemed OK, they asked me to ride it in the parking lot. It was 5:50, and they closed in ten minutes. The bike shifted OK for a couple of cycles up and down. As much as I was happy to get the bicycle back the same day, I was not happy after riding it several time and from gears five thru eight still trouble upshifting. I truly wish they had kept the bike until Tuesday, maybe the bike would shift properly. I did not need to get my bicycle back fast as much as I needed to get my bicycle back FIXED.

He is an average size, not heavy great nephew was on the bike and put the kickstand down. Went to get off and the kickstand snapped right at the housing. I put it in the bag with the bag it came in. Receipt and all the parts Matthew and Dylan were like... "this has never happened before... blah blah blah". Also, I was like, "Are you trying to blame your shoddy merchandise on an eleven yr old child?" They both looked at each and sorta slightly nodded. At that point, I asked for a manager. Dylan pops off with, "I am the manager" and puts out her hand. I shook it reluctantly. And there she was without any name tags stating she was a manager. She didn't act like a manager to me, at all. I then said, "Well, it is $14 and since you have nothing but another like it...my refund is due since when I bought it two days ago, I have that I need. Receipt, item with all the tags, etc. So you need to refund me $14." She then asked for the actual card to give me my full refund, I happen to have it with me. Thank goodness. I will NOT BE BACK. And if you shop there--I STRONGLY suggest to see the manufacturer date and see if something really old is being sold as new. Lots can happen to merchandise randomly stored and dropping would be an average happening. Also, how high on a shelf has it been stored OVER 8 years. Not cool. Nor great customer service. They lost a customer for always. Thanks, but no thanks.
