D Variety 99 Cents & Up

This is an amazing store — they stock satisfactory alternatives that you would look for at a hardware store and at a lower cost. I have fun going through the aisles and the storekeepers are super helpful. They have helium balloons, cleaning supplies, electronics for cell phones etc. Here’s their phone number: 718−232−8970

I just want to say that this store sells nice things and WAS one of my favorite dollar stores for a while, until a recent experience. I went to the store with the intent to purchase an item. When it came time to pay I asked the cashier if there was tax, just to make sure I had the proper amount to pay. She got so mad. She was yelling and lecturing me about how improper it is to ask if they ask tax or them or anyone. She was so angry that she ran out of breath and her face turned red. Honestly I don’t understand how that was issue. Never going to go back after that

Of all the many, many Asian 99 cent stores in the area, this is probably my favorite. Not sure what the heck their name means, but they have a lot of products in stock. Of course, not all of it is 99 cents, but that’s part of the charm.
Lots of toys, wrapping paper, kitchen ware, glass ware, etc. The quality is actually a bit better than other 99 cent stores, believe it or not.
