Dooley's is my favorite store in Fredericksburg. A stroll through the store is like a step back in time to days when there was a Five & Dime in most cities. I find items here that I have not seen in years. I took my 6 grandchildren there on one visit to Fredericksburg and they had a ball. More

This is a real trip down memory lane for those of us who remember the old fashioned variety store before they were huge and also sold groceries, tires and furniture. The display counters are the old cut glass style. You can find items that you haven't seen in years (oil cloth comes to mind). It is a fun place that... More

It's a lot of fun to browse around. If you make a purchase, they don't take credit/debit cards. The kids always love it. More

I don't see how anyone could possibly give this store a bad review!!! We were in Fredericksburg June 26-29 for our 27th anniversary, and as we always do, we just had to stop in Dooley's. The only thing I'll warn about is that they don"t take credit cards, but this is a must visit place!!! This place has everything you... More

Decided to visit after reading numerous great reviews but was very disappointed! Although the store has wooden floors, this is about all it has in common with [Woolworths] stores in the 50s or 60s. They sell common everyday items, nothing you can't find at any Target or WalMart. But we are glad we went because we found Rustlin' Rob's a... More

Dooleys was the height of our stop in Fredericksburg! It brought back fond memories of when I was a child as well as when my Mom was a child. Best of all, you can find off the wall random gifts for anyone....old, young, or young at heart! More

My son and I went to Dooley's a few years back. It was so much fun to remember some of the items from my childhood. I found some of the old fashioned permanent rods for my hair. I had looked everywhere for them. We must have spent two hours in there just looking around. I guess you have to be... More

What a cool place! Talk about taking a trip back in time! For those old enough to remember 5 & 10 stores you'll love this walk down memory lane. For those who are too young to remember you'll love seeing how things used to be back in the day. Kids and adults will enjoy this store. There is an item... More

We live about 1.5 hours away from Fredericksburg, and it would be worth it to us to drive back down there again just to visit Dooley's. We bought a beautifully dressed 3' doll with long curls and porcelain face and hands for a song. American Girl, eat your heart out! The owner was incredibly helpful--we came with several things in...
