Ollie’s is much like a Big Lots store. It has stuff Walmart might have had a few years ago. They give a second life to these formerly clearanced out items. They also have some refurb sweepers and shampooers. I like Ollie’s for their huge book section. I have bought carpet off of them several times and have been quite happy with it. They are definitely a good alternative for a job where you have a small room. Their cooking utensils and gadgets are decent as well. They also have decent selsctions of cheaper furniture. They also have a limited selection of clothes, suit cases, and a large selection of housewares. They buy up left over lots from big box stores and then sell them in their store. This is a great way to give a deal to the customer and I am sure they are doing quite well in this economy. I love the fact that they repurposed a store space as this use to be a Kmart and a Sears after that. Maybe they need to clean a little bit, every once in a while. But, I like going to Ollie’s.
