This is a scam. Billboard and front store sign says that everything is a dollar or less but many items are priced over a dollar. Most of them are sold at $1.50 even $2. Visited here the other day and was amazed how you can sell items under false advertisement. Items are good, only if their upper level management were true to their advertisements of everything $1.

I am not sure if One Dollar Zone had two locations or just moved to Boston Street location near fast food row in this shopping center next to Planet Fitness. I believe similar owner /business model. Unlike Dollar Tree, not everything is a dollar. Sadly this move resulted into a smaller space which meant cutbacks in the food section.What got axed:The old Lynnway location had an interesting refrigerated section with Irish imported potato/sweet potato sides like Rosties/Rostis. With the new location being smaller in square foot meant less wall space for a refrigerated section. I am bummed about this because the Irish frozen food was the most original offering any dollar store offered and main reason why I schlepped all the way from East Boston by T.Pantry FoodsSadly their pantry foods section which offered Indo/Pak groceries took a major hit. More snacks less variety in pantry goods.What is new about this location:What was different about this trip to the new location was the housewares section. In their dish section, they have Asian style dishes perfect for sushi and Dim Sum and these square dishes with little compartments which are perfect for displaying dipping sauces, great to keep in mind for entertaining. I never encountered these at the former Lynnway location. The soup bowls must also be Asian inspired because of the way they are shaped may be used to accommodate soups like ramen or dishes like Tonkatsu where there isnt a lot of broth to spill out because the noodles and toppings absorb the broth.Got to give them props for keeping it fresh compared to other stores. I would imagine if you went to Essex Street in Chinatown, Super 88s Malden locations or West Cambridges China Fair, you would probably pay more. I want to come back for the dim sum dishes and dipping plates.They still have their great arts and crafts section and the location is cleaner because it is not accessible by Lynnway and therefore not a lot of foot traffic by T, unless you drive, the 435 North Shore Mall/Liberty Tree Mall bus route along with a lot of walking from Washington and Western Ave stop on the 450 route.In some ways I am relieved that One Dollar Zone is in a different incarnation but many of the things I loved about the old location are gone. I loved the convenience of the Lynnway location as a public transit rider and pedestrian, I could go to Walmart, the pet store at Commercial @ the Lynnway and go across the parking lot to Dollar Zone. I get it Lynnway being a main thoroughfare must come with a hefty lease and if all prices were a dollar or close to it obviously making rent and a profit would be a challenge. Gonna miss the old location so much longer to get there so if my trips to Lynn were infrequent as it is, sadly this location will be one done sparingly in terms of time getting out there and back on a weekend, maybe weekdays have more T service out there?At least crafters still have alternatives.

As much as I love coming to the store. I noticed that they started raising the prices of certain products like $1.50 & $2.00 for the exact same items I used to purchase for a $1. Its pretty much a $1 or less store so Im pretty confused.Also it should be mandatory that people who work at the register should know basic math or learn how to use a calculator with no exceptions.I was charged $2 more today for an item I did not purchase. I paid $17.81 in total on my Credit card. When I noticed a difference I asked her to take off the $2 that she overcharged me for a necklace I didnt buy.. She only wanted to give me back $1. Its basic math!. I explained to her the $2 that she charge me plus the tax should equal out to $2.12.She takes out the calculator and was multiplying a couple of times to tell me she only owed me $1.55. It was mind-blowing to see how she was fighting with me for over 5 minutes when its basic math $2 times the 6% tax is $2.12. She gave me my money and then accuse me of stealing. She told me, I stole a dollar more than I deserved. Really??The messed up part is on her behalf is that she even at the end re rang everything and the register told her to charge me $15.69. Minus the $17.81= $2.12. And she still said I stole money from her. More like she was stealing money from me LOL. Ive been coming here for a while and never had an issue like this with this cashier that I see there all the time.Unforgiven real.

Awful customer service. I kept asking for help with the balloons and every single person I approached told me that they were busy and couldn’t help me. I finally found someone and they told me that they couldn’t inflate balloons because they were closing soon. Mind you, the store didn’t close for another hour.

This place is where Covid hangs out. The employees dont tell the customers to follow regulations and there is no social distancing. I went in today and I had to leave because too much ghetto folks are there right on top of you and no one says please keep your distance. So if you want to get covid go in here. Also the place is garbage...so stay away

Love the store, go there all the time. Here is my issue. The name of the store is One Dollar Zone. The front of the store clearly says that. Everything $1 or less. So why is their stickers on stuff say $1.50 or $2.00. Thats false advertising.

This store is misleading. The only thing we saw in here for under a dollar were 2 for soda cans. There were a number of items that were marked over a dollar as well. Isnt everything suppose to be a dollar & below as their sign says?? Wont be coming back here. Dollar tree is 100% better.

Cool store with great surprises. You can find some great deals here. The thing is that the staff dont really know where everything is, or if they have it or not. That wont prevent me from coming back, since prices are great.

Review №33

Although, the ONE DOLLAR ZONE has a wide array of items, I am left confused. On the store front there is a sign that states, EVERYTHING, ONE DOLLAR OR LESS. While shopping there, I found a few items marked $2.00. In a previous visit, to another location of this same store, I bought a fidget spinner priced $3.00. THUS, THE NAME OF THE STORE IS ONE DOLLAR STORE Is this not false advertising? SHOULD THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU BE MADE AWARE OF THIS?

Good place to go for tools, decorations and household stuff. Also a good spot for baby bottles. Other stuff is hit or miss. I highly recommend you check expiration dates on all food items before buying.

Review №42

Went in last Friday looking for a particular item... I searched the aisles for awhile trying to find it myself before walking up front and saw what seemed to be a manager and a cashier standing talking with somebody about balloons... I asked the cashier if she could help me she stared at me for a couple seconds before turning her head like she didn’t hear me, I said excuse me a couple more times and still she ignored me. I put my stuff on the counter and attempted to walk out and the manager said there was somebody else that could help, she had no idea what I wanted & then the manager told me where the item was and that there was no more. Overall customer service sucked & I would never step foot in this place again. Choose another dollar store, not worth the hassle!!! I wish I could give them 0 stars

The manager thinks this place is her personal disco or nightclub. Dance music was so loud it bordered on assault. Definitely assaulted my ears and made wandering around extremely uncomfortable. Asked to turn it down ... got the b!tch-face-sneer and a curt I just did.
