As I've said before...I'm somewhat of a connoisseur of dollar stores. I stumbled into this one last weekend, and let me tell you- I felt as though I'd won the lottery (doesn't take much to make me happy lol!). It's literally like the motherlode of Dollar Trees. Even now, I get excited about how great that store is. I've been known to travel to multiple Dollar Trees in a single day when I'm looking for a particular item. Saturday, this was the second store I visited after first trying the Belmont location. When I walked in, my socks were blown off. First, the parking lot is huge so parking is no issue. The Northlake location has a weird parking lot and I'm usually immediately annoyed whenever I go there. Back to the Gastonia location lol: The inside of the store is humongous. The kicker is, it never felt cluttered or overwhelming or unorganized. Just rows and rows and rows of goodies for $1! They had a much better selection than the smaller stores. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have more white artificial lilies but that was a small issue in comparison with how impressive the overall store is. It just really feels like the employees here take pride in their store and make sure it's well kept, neat, and presentable. It's officially become my favorite Dollar Tree in Charlotte.
