11 Best candy store in Mobile, Alabama (AL) 2024

Man this place is awesome. I loved it. I went to use the bathroom and asked for the key, they said to just use the women's bathroom. So I did! When I came out this girl waiting to use the bathroom got an attitude with me for using the women's bathroom. I'd love to get more into it but I don't know if you have the time to read it. ~Titus

FIRST OFF Let me say I’ve been a true supporter of Dollar General for YEARS . Tonight something tragic happened and I do NOT like the way I was treated by an employee at the Dauphin location. I arrived at the store around 6 pm and the doors were locked i saw an employee standing at the register attending to her cellular device instead of communicating on whether the store was closed or not. She just stood there looking at me and several other customers knocking. I was totally devastated. I’ve never been so rudely ignored. I would definitely like this matter looked into . I will also be contacting the corporate headquarters to look into this situation. VERY POOR SERVICE ~Keiara

This is a very nice Dollar store. They have good low prices on household items, gifts, cards, snacks and candy. I really getting snacks and treats here. They also have good holiday items, especially Christmas decorations and gift wraps! I like their good priced movie DVDs also. ~Janna

Very friendly, good customer service. ~Laura

Not sure why others posted about neat/clean store. Must be confused because this is hands down a complete embarrassing mess of a store. I have never seen something so terrible. Armed gaurd at the front door was also ridiculous. If the need is there fine. But not standing at the front door. I should habe taken pictures. I popped in because I was close and needed a few things. Almost before I left wished I'd kept driving. Horrible atmosphere ~mike

This is the first time that I have actually looked at the website for 2461 Island Rd. Mobile, AL. I would like to point out that 90% of the photos for this location are NOT of this store. There are many reasons why I know this but the most important reason and also the cause of this review is that the shelves have NEVER been stocked like the photos show since the store was about 2 months in business. I really hate going to this store because they can't or don't keep items in stock. I don't know how restock items are ordered but there is a major problem here. Is it the management, the POS system, or what? The problem seems to be getting worse day after day. Sometimes there are carts of items to be stocked all over the store blocking the aisles but the shelves are empty. The coolers stay half empty. I'm tired of trying to shop at this store, I have been passing it by and driving elsewhere or to a different Dollar General to shop because this store is very poorly stocked. ~Charles

Closing early.. that’s bs. Not to mention all the prices are incorrect. Everything is marked up at the register. No prices match the price tags. ~KardBored

Unfortunately , this is the worst location. The parking lot is always extremely nasty. Then the store is always empty. This store hasn’t been stocked in a long time! If other DG stores are able to maintain their stock to some extent, I don’t understand why this one can’t. They have random toys on racks that are placed in the front where clothes for kids used to go, not even sure anymore. The last time I was in there I came in, got what I needed and never saw any employees. Luckily the self check out was working, but how much merchandise is stollen like this?? There was one other person behind me at the self check out and we couldn’t believe that no one had come out at all! There is a bell on the door so you know when someone enters. I was in for over 19 mins as well. The staff is always busy talking to each other as well when ringing you up to where you are normally waiting while said employee holds your stuff, distracted and not scanning. I won’t be going back anymore. ~Melissa

Digital Coupons are ineffective and the employees do not know how to process them. The details regarding the item size, color, and even the scent are too numerous to remember and the DG bldgs prevent customers from going online to recall the stipulations. The shelves are almost always empty and the sale items are always gone. Items/Brands that I have been able to find at DG have been discontinued so I ALWAYS end up going to multiple stores. The DG that I went to today took the customer behind me even though I was first, then claimed that she did not tell that customer to step up. I'm sure the problem wasn't that they were both African American and I'm not. I won't shop where I'm not welcome any more. ~JoAnn

Had some great 👍🏾 deals depending on what you are looking for. ~Yvonne
