In the wake of the news of all 99 cent stores permenantly closing up shop, I decided to leave this review as less of an actual review per say, and more of an obituary and farewell to the store, and the chain in general. Ever since 1982, the 99 cent only stores have been a staple of discount shopping across the Western US, from the suburbs of LA to Downtown El Paso. It has served millions of people and has saved people hundreds of millions of dollars on utilities, groceries, snacks, etc., including here at this location alone. It has thrived for decades, but the 2010s and 2020s have not been kind to them. With COVID-19 ravaging the world, as well as rising costs, inflation, etc., it comes as no surprise to me that the chain is shutting down forever. The stores, including this one, have fallen behind in hygiene standards and the quality of products, as seen with the lower reviews over the years. This chain has been a giant on it's last legs for years, and now, it seems like it is going to sleep for the rest of it's days. If the owners see this message, I want to personally thank you for keeping this store operational. Ever since my family started coming here all the way back in 2011, we have saved thousands of dollars on groceries, supplies, etc. Now though, it seems like it is an end of an era for discount shopping in the United States, as the 99 cent only stores fade into history. On behalf of the tens of thousands of Fresno residents you have served over the years: Thank you, farewell.......and goodbye. 1982-2024
