Editor's Review
The Dollar General on Knoxville's Main Street has become a mixed bag for shoppers. On one hand, it’s praised for its friendly staff and occasional sales; on the other, it suffers from significant stocking and organizational issues. As Timothy Spence observed, 'the store also feels dark, with several lights out, giving it a somewhat run-down feel.' Customers frequently comment on the disarray within the aisles, calling out clutter and empty shelves. This can make simple shopping trips frustrating.
Despite these setbacks, some shoppers still find value here. Zena Buchanan noted, 'This is my weekly splurge store,' appreciating the deals on home decor and the $5 off $25 offer available through the app. Yet, even with those offers, shoppers are left feeling let down by the store’s condition and management. The phrase 'worst Dollar General ever' from H Smith encapsulates the dissatisfaction many express.

This is my weekly splurge store. I go buy sale items and some home decor that looks like it cost more than I paid. The employees are pleasant. Sat is $5 off $25 with coupon, it's worth it. Use the app.
