Unfamiliar to the Ollie's line of stores, I had no expectations upon visiting. The Ollie's brand seems to have customer service and authenticity their priority, with their "7 ½ Commandments" high and center in front of checkout registers.

However, the store seems unkept and scattered. Some amount of organization exists, although navigating the store seems like a chore. If needing any one item in particular, one may be searching for some time. As Ollie's is a liquidation store, I suppose what they offer changes every so often.

Perhaps I am simply inexperienced to shopping at liquidations stores, but unknowing what the store has at any given time seems bothersome. I was reminded of discount stores, which seem like the better option to visit.

Lastly, as a brand icon, Ollie should be retired. The store features dozens of signs with Ollie with silly puns that are more embarrasing than anything. It was nice to see some grade-A racism with the "Orientals" rug sign.
