DW One Dollar Store

Sure, it’s cheap. But I’d like to think there’s more to life than just saving a few bucks here and there. I ran in yesterday to pick up a few streamers and a gift bag – and was in there far longer than I should have been, or would have liked.
For some reason, streamers and party decorations are on the opposite side of the store from the gift bags and tissue paper. How do I know this? I asked the one employee – and she grunted and pointed vaguely to the right.
In regards to the gift bags, their collection is paltry at best. There are no solid-​colored or basic bags here. There are, however, plenty of gaudy, wrinkled, slightly dirty «Welcome to the World, Newborn!» bags to choose from. I saw a pretty normal looking bag, but it was located 7 feet of the ground, so I was given the opportunity to talk to that friendly employee again. «Hold your horses – I’ll be with you later,» she hoarsely grumbled.
This store might have a lot of cheap items, but I’d rather pay extra for better service on better quality products in a store I’m willing to support. Like Target, my one true love.

The experience I received was just like going to any other dollar store. There was a lot of things that they didn’t have. I prefer the one in fremont.

A lot of items look like they’ve been there for 10+ yearfs. Place is always stuffy and kinda smells odd. Most if not all of the items are 1.25+ and they keep bumping up their prices. I am SO not coming back here.

Located inside the Raley’s Shopping Center, in Newark.
This is a dollar store that has a lot of stuff for a dollar! Balloons (1.25), toys, kitchen supplies, jewelry, snacks and much more for one dollar each (some items cost more). It’s an okay dollar store. Support your local businesses.

Before heading out to hang out in Hayward last night, I went to run a few errands around Newark and checked out this store. I couldn’t believe how the store has merchandise literally packed wall-​to-​wall, to the point I would worry in the event of an earthquake! I had been looking for seasonally themed mailing supplies, which I did not find there, but did find some very inexpensive kitchen containers. Many many kitchen utensils, numerous house supplies such as trash bags, disposable containers, stationery, gift bags, cleaning supplies, and on and on and on.
A shame I never spotted this store when I still lived in Fremont; now I’ll have to be on the lookout for something similar in my new area.

not really a dollar store anymores. dollar plus is more accurate. kitchen utensils abound. other items kind of sparse.

loved the size of this small store! it has a lot to choose from, but not overwhelming like some of the dollar stores out there! if you’re looking to find gift bags, this is the place! i also found the cutest (yet untacky) cards here! and the cashiers are so friendly!
