Ollie's Bargain Outlet — Attraction in North Olmsted

I want to love this place, I really do, but there's probably more negatives than positives for me. The place was an absolute disaster, but it was Christmas time so I'll try to give it a pass there, but I suspect that it's quite often like that with garbage all over the shelving, broken things all over, and boxes piled in the aisles.

Quite a few of the items are ridiculously outdated; for example the Hannah Montana stickers and comforters that look about 10 years out of style.

The pricing wasn't much to write home about; I did get some great deals on coffee and books for the kids but the books I really had to search through bc a lot of them were either damaged or missing pieces for the ones that were specialty books that had accessories with them. Many of the items were similar to Dollar Tree quality but almost double the price. And I can get better quality rugs at the home improvement stores for less money. Most of the "rugs" they have there are just reminants with binding.

When I checked out the cashier was incredibly nice and polite but she put all of the items in bags without being aware of contamination; she put all of the bath salts and soaps in the same bag as the food. When I unpacked it all at home the food was ruined smelling like the strong perfumes of the beauty products.

Bottom line, if you have some time to burn and enjoy deal hunting you may find a few treasures here but if you're looking for a quick shop where everything is in good condition and worthy of purchase I...

Like Ollie's. They have all kinds of random items. Books, those fans that wrap around your neck, reading glasses, bluetooth speakers, pillows, car wax, toothpaste, mattresses, comforter sets, cereal, toys, underwear, batteries, sugar, shampoo, lawn and patio furniture, old iphone adapters (iphone 1,2,3,4), light bulbs, all kinds of items for your home like big mirrors, night stands, those big plastic shelves (in 3 different sizes), coffee, random electronics, items for your cat and dog, pants, generic shoes, plenty of different kinds of candy, and more. I think it's random sometimes coz they buy stuff that might not have had sold in other stores that need space for new items. They also have all kinds of items you've seen before but might not have wanted at that particular time. Like generic water picks, instant screen door, round ice cube trays, fake security cameras, foot vibrators, and more. I got a bird feeder and seeds that I only filled twice. If you have a few extra dollars or disposable income, check em out. You can sign up for the mailing list and get coupons in your email. I think you can put them on your Ollie's cars. I could be wrong about that though. The only problem is the lines. So many deals, that the lines can get kinda long. It's like a warehouse. I like to walk around and check out the electronics, car care, and house paints. I got this big mirror that I put in my bathroom for like $12.. I think. I was very inexpensive. I...
