99 Cents Only Store

I ain’t gonna lie, I’ve bought fresh fruit here… and, it’s yummy.
We wash them in distilled water and vinegar, which we also got at the store and done!
Honestly, I couldn’t believe my eyes when they had strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries. and cherries for a dollar.

This is the most dirty and unorganized 99 cent store I have ever been to! Long lines and not enough cashiers. Merchandise never well stocked and MESSY! I’ve lived here for years and it’s always been like this so I always have to travel to other 99 cents. Somebody should really do something about this. Just because we live in Highland Park does not mean we don’t deserve a clean and well managed store! Please clean the floors. They are so disgusting!

I went in there in the afternoon on 02-​25-​2015. There were two registers open and the lines were very long. So I told them that they should open a third checker. So they did. I had a basket of 44 dollars worth of items. They would not take my American Express card. They do not take American Express. I said to the woman, this is the worst trip I have ever had at a 99cent only store. You just lost a good client for a while. I bought the items I wanted at Walmart and they are shipping for free. No waiting in line, no looking for a parking spot.

The Highland Park location on York is one of the best 99 Cents Only stores.
It carries a full selection of produce, many do not carry fresh groceries, such as the Montebello Store.
I always buy cherry, or grape tomatoes for 99 cents for a small box full. The same box costs $ 3 to $ 4 at Ralph’s, and other supermarkets.
Dish washing liquid is 99 cents, $ 2 to $ 3 at most other markets.
There’s plenty of parking, and the store is spacious and well laid out, not like the cramped Lincoln Heights store on Broadway.
Service is always good, at least I’m pleased, the cashiers have always been courteous to me. But so am I. I always say good morning, or good afternoon.
Yes, there are homeless people hanging around the parking lot, but they aren’t aggressive, they look really poor, not just opportunistic panhandlers. Men and women who live in parks, and under bridges. Give them a break. I give them some of the pears, and oranges I buy inside.

I stopped shopping at 99 cents store at highland park since I heard the manger is mistreating her employees. For the past 3 years workers at the 99 cent store in HLP have been treated unfairly. I know a few of them have been injured there and are in the middle of a lawsuit. Nuvia Grajeda who is the manager pushes these people to quit and hires her friends giving her friends plenty of hours and the people who some been there for 19 years get their hours cut. Tell me how is it that a women was almost killed by a man Jose driving a fork lift, (who is not licensed to drive it and was on his cellphone) and the manager does nothing. This man Jose is still employed and never got suspended for this. But Nuvia Grajeda tells her worker’s (of 19 years working there) they are not doing 100% therefore you are suspended for a week, so sign this paper and I will walk you out and I will check you bags. Why would you need to walk out someone who is «not doing 100%» but still keep Jose working with not a problem??? Nuvia Grajeda needs to leave, Lincoln hts didn’t want her at that 99 cent store all for the same reason. The 99 cent store needs to treat their employees right. They are being forced to quit, these people are older and they work hard, it will be so much hard for them to find a new place of employment. Who can help these employees since The 99 cent store won’t do anything for them but tell them they are not doing 100% and take them off work for a week or fired them!

Always crowded, too many homeless people jacking snacks, and lots of messed up people meandering through the parking lot. However i love their $.19 bottles of water and lots of cheap awesome snacks. Find lots of goodies in here at times and cashiers are always friendly.

yeah yeah being a lifetime «paycheck to paycheck» type of living fool i totally appreciate this place and would never criticize or speak negatively about it in the past but all of a sudden here in late 2014 theres some new totally ridicilious little wannabe psychological manipulation going on likely initiated by some new know-​it-​nothing manager or corporate blob-​brained mutant wherein they have pulled all the hand-​baskets from the store. for what reason who knows, logical theories being forcing people to use push carts where you’ll buy more stuff or forcing the low-​end buyers like me to get less and thereby speed up the lines which are always stupid long due to the every-​market trend of not dare ever having one too many checkers who might *gasp* actually be doing! nothing! for a few minutes a day… or maybe they are trying to force you to bring your own stupid bag. anyways after a couple months of this now everyone knows to head straight to the back to get a stupid laundry basket to carry their lousy 99cent items…

This is My first time at This location and This Store has everything we need, I went to that store Tonight, and it was great to get $ 5 dls off for every $ 25 dls purchase, indeed my purchase was over 25 dls and I got the discount immediately, The Cashier Maria, 21 years old, I know her age coz I asked her lol, She was very efficient at the register and Very welcoming also very Smiley, it’s good to see other people smiling at you after a rough day at work and that smile was contagious :) Thanks to Maria my Visit to this $.99 cents only store was extraordinary Great !! I will come back to this location very soon :)

I am the first to say honestly that I love the 99 cent store. It has everything you need! Except for this 99. Never, I repeat NEVER go on Wednesday morning. It is a day of the week when all the new stuff is put out. The refrigerated section of the store is the worse. Be prepared to duke it out with the local comadres. It is on like Donkey Kong! Not only do you have to fight your way to the refrigerator door, but than you have to get through all these comadres passing each other all the new stuff. It is exactly like a seen from Armageddon. There definitely needs to be a limit per person. That way everyone can have one. Not only this hoarding ladies! They don’t believe in taking even a couple of items they take it ALL! So if you are brave enough to go on Wednesday be prepared with your boxing gloves and take a friend to watch your back.

Always busy here, good selection of fresh stuff. Although things that are good deals seem to run out. I love the produce here. All the staff are friendly. Not a bad size store. I do see a lot of expired stuff, so be careful when you buy any food from here.

This 99c store is massive. They were fully stocked of everything I needed. They didn’t have lunch pales which was inconvenient but they had more in stock than any other 99c store i’ve been to. Customer service was ok. A couple employees didn’t know where things were.

How doesn’t love the 99 cent store? This place is great. They have a great selection of items and the store is always organized so you can find what you are looking for quickly. I recently went in to look for double sided tape and there it was only 99 cents! I’m glad that I checked here before going to Target.
They have fresh produce thee but I’m a little cautious about buying fresh or canned food there. I always check the expiration date just to be sure.
This is a great place to shop and browse the aisles for an unexpected deal!

Been shopping at this location for 12 years! Great for household basics and holiday themed items. Ocassionally there are some great buys. My last visit was at 6:48pm yesterday. It was the worst. It was messy and no one was helpful. By the time I got to the register I expected better. No, that didn’t happen. «Maria» wasn’t helpful either. I did not appreciate her adding attitude either. No even a friendly «hello» or «thank you.» I was too tired to put items away and shop elsewhere but I will just give my business to the Dollar Tree up the street who always has happy and helpful employees who keep the place clean and organized. After over a decade, we can part ways. It’s not cheap enough when there is such bad service!

I ain’t afraid to admit it, I like going into the 99 cent store. This one specifically has a lot of food items. And while I’m as epicurean as the next photo taking Unilocaler, I can’t turn up a chance to get buck stuff that other places charge you more for. Besides, that 99 cent store white wine totally has to be good… right… right.
Okay, so sometimes some purchases aren’t as good as others. And sometimes there’s just customers in here that aren’t alive, nor are they dead and they just sort of shamble through the aisles blocking your way.
Their fridge section has items in there that, well, you probably have to question. But once you realize that you need to build up an immunity to these factory cranked out food items, well then, that’s when you become a super powered mutant because you ate some 99 cent store butter or cheese.
The employees here either don’t know much about the store or just don’t care. It’s not like you come into a 99 cent store looking for good costumer service. You’d be expecting a price jump to $ 1.29 if you want better service.
But saying that, they do crank it out pretty quickly when it comes to the register timing. You won’t spend too much time at the register. So hey, that’s nice that your time in a 99 cent store can be trimmed down.

I don’t love shopping at the 99 cents store because it’s quite a mixed crowd, but I cannot justify over paying on certain items so I continue to head over there for the essentials. Toothpaste, tooth brushes, rubber gloves, laundry detergent, etc. you can’t beat the 99 cent price! I get a 32 load laundry detergent that’s just as good as anyone I’ve ever used and it’s the best price ever! Thank you 99 cents only stores. You’re always there when I need you.

I popped in here today vowing to myself not to spend a lot of money. I always go apeshit and end up buying produce with intentions of cooking something with it and inevitably it goes bad before I get a chance. Wasting food is a pet peeve of mine, I shed a tear for wilted spinach.
I needed some tp and milk and to see if they had coolant for my radiator and maybe a few yogurts but THAT’S IT, bucko! Whatever. I spent $ 31 and $ 8 on sunglasses alone. Hello, summer…
Among my other scores were Diet Coke (4 for a buck), Goldfish crackers, and hefty cans of Healthy Choice Chicken Noodle soup. No coolant for my car but I wasn’t really expecting to find any there, I bounced across the parking lot to the Auto Zone and got it there instead.
Since my next two days are going to be spent at the beach with friends I don’t even feel bad about my $ 8 sunglasses splurge, it’s about time to get my bitchin summer underway.

One of the best store chains around Los Angeles. The closest 99cents store to me, it is a lot better than the one located in Lincoln Heights. A bit bigger. A lot cleaner. and the location doesn’t have homeless people outside waiting to beg for me. Albeit that isn’t their fault, but the one in Lincoln Heights IS located by an alley.
I still have a fuss about this store still not accepting my American Express card.

This place is just ok. I was just killing time in here looking for stupid knick knack items and found a few Marvel post-​its I thought my friends kids would like. Still in search for that letter opener thing you just use to slide across the envelope but of course, they don’t even know what I’m talking about. The cashiers are friendly for a Friday night and talks to customers. Seems like a few do come through here quite often like a supermarket. The cashier knows them by name. Very cool but just wanted to put this on the Unilocal map. That’s all.
