Editor's Review
Family Dollar in Pittsburgh is more than just your average discount store; it’s a neighborhood staple that many locals have come to rely on for everyday essentials. Open until 10:00 PM daily, it offers a wide range of household supplies, discount groceries, and seasonal items that can be hard to find elsewhere. As a newer establishment, just two years old, some customers note its cleanliness and competent staff compared to older locations. For example, MonaLisa Leung Beckford mentioned, 'This location however is very clean, the staff are pretty good.' But, as with any store, there are mixed reviews.
Many shoppers appreciate the competitive prices and the convenience of Smart Coupons for additional savings. On the flip side, some customers express frustrations about organization and staff engagement. A. Fernandez shared an experience that many have echoed: 'I called to ask if they had an item in stock, and I was told I'd have to come in and look because they had a line.' These kinds of issues have led to a consensus that while Family Dollar serves a crucial need, improvements in service and organization would elevate the shopping experience further.

Not very clean. The aisles are overpacked- heck some you cant go down. Employees are dressed in pjs, wearing slippers also. But it is a neighborhood store. Good for running in for a few things
A great addition to Carrick, but at the same time just another junk shop. It would be nice if it was better organized and maintained. We need more stores like this in this area that provide everyday products at good prices, however; we don't need mor...
I called to ask if they had an item in stock, and I was told I'd have to come in and look because they had a line. Family Dollar should pay their employees better so they can properly staff their stores and meet customers' needs.
This is not a bad family dollar. It was just opened around two years ago. It's a much needed family dollar. There is a family dollar a few miles down the road in Mt Oliver, but that location is in a sketchy neighborhood and they don't have good custo...
They don’t stalk often and the employees don’t even say hello back when you come in and say hi how are you? But I like the new location I like that it has both household items and grocery’s. They have toys for kids and clothes for kids but you get wh...
