What) Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is the Mid-Atlantic’s largest retailer of closeout, surplus and salvage merchandise. Our 104 “semi-lovely” stores sell merchandise of all descriptions and some beyond description. You’ll find lots of famous brand name goods in every department, like housewares from Rubbermaid, Mirro, Ekco and Anchor Hocking, toys from Mattel, or sporting goods from Igloo. Ollie’s buyers scour the world looking for closeouts, overstocks, package changes, manufacturer refurbs and irregulars.
Much of the
merchandise comes direct from the finest manufacturers in the
country and abroad. For instance, if a manufacturer makes too
much of an item or changes their packaging, Ollie’s will buy
the discontinued or overstock items. So, you will always find
famous brand name products at Ollie’s but it could be last
year’s color or pattern that traditional retailers won’t sell.
We also work with insurance companies to buy salvage
merchandise. If a store in your neighborhood has a fire then
Ollie’s may purchase the inventory and put it in our stores at
drastically reduced prices! Yes, there may be a little smoke
on the stuff, but it’ll be so cheap that you won’t mind! (1)

Why) The
last time we went to Ollie's
I had to drive by the place 10 times before I could convince
Pam to shop at such an obvious “junk store”. This time we only
drove by twice so Pam refused to go in. I went in with
the mindset of trying to find a nice gift for Pam to “show
her” how nice of a store Ollie's can be. 
I also enjoy looking at the crazy original advertising that is featured around the store.
