dd's Discounts was yet another lowered price clothing and home fashion retailer that I just recently encountered for the first time (1/11/16).
It isn't any wonder that this Bell Gardens store has the look and feel of a typical Ross: dd's Discounts is a subsidiary of Ross. I don't shop for women's clothes here or at Ross so I can't comment on that.
That being said, I'm a fan of dd's Discounts for their prices particularly for toddler clothes that are just going to wear out fast or get dirty anyway. A few home items were good too.
Here are some examples:
2 qt. clear glass casserole dish w/lid = $5.99
Hello Kitty backpack = $3.99
velvet flocked hangers (18/pack) = $7.99
light-up Frozen toddler tennis shoes = $14.99
Our two toddlers wear out shoes like no one's business. I picked up three pairs all under $8 each. They are adorable. Not like any that I have seen. Wide width. Easy to put on/take off.
THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION
This location has a small, shared parking lot. But it's never been packed when I drove by at all hours of the clock. You shouldn't have trouble finding it with that humongous sign out front.
The employees are all nice, but a bit robotic towards customers and super gossipy to each other. That doesn't bother me. I just don't get the whole "take your receipt" yourself deal. I know it's right there for me to grab, but it's there for the employee to grab too and hand to me. Why? So they ensure that I grabbed it myself? I later found out all dd's do this. But does that mean I have to put new paper in the printer if it runs out on me? It's the little things that piss me off sometimes.
It's mostly organized. As clean as it could be by Ross/dd's standards, I guess.
The pickings are SLIM for all of the departments. Men's department especially.
TIP:
Just like at Ross, you have to carefully examine your merchandise. I always recommend trying items on... dressing rooms looked typical for Ross/dd's.
