Ollie's Bargain Outlet — Attraction in Seekonk

If you are a Millennial, you might have been lucky enough to go to a store called "Building 19" which was a discount retail store that looked something similar to those places that spends money on inventory, but not necessarily the shelves that display that inventory. With a lower barrier to entry to opening a store, they can often hit the ground running. Ollie's is a callback to this once ancient, and amazing, shopping experience.

Ollie's had first shown up on my radar as I was arriving to a neighboring store for a delivery. Upon seeing the store branding, I was intrigued. It had the look of other low cost retail stores in the region, but it's inventory was a bit different.

Entering, I noticed that the book selection included trade paperbacks, which is another word for a collection of singular comic books from a specific character. I picked up a few for 5 bucks each, and while they turned out to not to be the best, for 5 bucks, it was definitely worth my time.

I also noticed the brands that Ollie's was selling. A person might realize that they can buy pallets of goods from wholesalers and producers that may not sell at regular stores, and Ollie must have some supply chain connections, because I was able to get a Nerf gun for 20 bucks here, too. I was amply surprised by the quality of the brands and the goods in comparison to other similar stores.

It is a bit difficult to understand how the market can be so saturated with what seems to be the same kind of store, but if you look closely, and you are looking for particular items, you will notice that the brands here are of a bit higher quality, though the actual items may be a bit randomized. Ollie's may be filling a market niche, and since they are not so saturated in a given region, might have a sustainable business plan.

Definitely check them out during the holiday season, as their annual report mentions that that is their primary revenue generating quarter, so they will buff up their inventory then!

No score on sustainability measures as I have not seen any efforts on their part to...

i remember Bldg 19 growing up .. this was before the present whse clubs like BJ's, Costco and Sam's Clubs.. this was the era of Spags, Ocean State Job Lot, etc.. the smaller owned chains of discounted and or family owned smaller regional chains.. Well Ollie's is a small regional chain that is a welcome revival to tht era. I visited for the first time their Seekonk, MA store and i thot i'd walked into a time reset back to the 1970's. There are some bargains to be found here. Its nto like going to a "dollar store" at all. Wide variety of discounted items. As an example i found paint and painting supplies tht normally cost 6-10 times as much at the big box stores (HomDep or Lowes, or even Tractor Supply next door to this store or even Harbor Freight) for huge discounts here, albeit limited to what they had in stock.. We also found a huge inventory of heavily discounted and new electric space heaters, but the real find was in finding some Natural Gas (or Propane) heaters for literally half price .. We were really helped out by Priscila here, the store mgr and also by Shamus, extensively so, with questions, price inquiries and further discounting some...
