Domrick Dollar Store

Review #29 of Unilocal’s 30 Day Challenge 2012
This was the first Filipino store we discovered when we got here. We were on our way back home from Ikea driving on Glenmore when we saw a Philippine flag on one of the store signs behind the Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond area. Moving from Minnesota were Filipinos and Asian groceries are scarce we were pretty excited seeing a Filipino store so we checked it out right away.
I’m not sure if this is really more of a dollar store or a Filipino grocery. When you first get inside, there’s a small section on the right side where they display several dollar-​product but the rest of the place is filled with Filipino goods. It’s a good size store with a good variety of Filipino and regular grocery products. I find that their aisles are well spaced that you don’t feel enclosed or trapped in one area. One of the things I love is that they have entire row of just chips and sweets! I always end up more than what’s in my list! They also have a good range of frozen products in several different freezers which are properly labeled with what’s inside and their prices. I find that their prices are slightly a little higher than T&T but it’s the closest Filipino store to my place so I don’t really mind. Service is friendly. Just like in Loriz, going to this store is like going to a friend’s house where everyone is nice and warm to you. If you can’t find a particular product you’re looking for they will tell you right away where to find it or even get it for you.
