Because of past experiences, I'm not a big fan of refurbished products and Ollie's does sell these things. I don't feel like this because of anything I purchased at Ollie's though because I have bought a few refurbished items from there. What I like about Ollie's is that the prices on most of the things they sell are priced at or better than most of the area stores. The one thing Ollie's has over all of those other businesses is their book department. Some say that reading a book is an outdated activity and that anything that you can find in a book can be found online-usually at a lower cost if not free. Ollie's is the closest thing to a bookstore at the D&F Plaza since the Book Nook closed its doors for good in 2017 it 2018 maybe? None of the the reading material I find online can compare to the physical feel, smell and sound of the pages being turned of a good book whether it's a textbook or a piece of fiction. So for me, it is the selection of reading material along with the reasonable prices on most items offered that keeps me returning to Ollie's to do...
Read moreI enjoy shopping at Ollie's. You can find everything you're not looking for. You can find fabulous gift ideas. And this is the time to start shopping for Christmas. I went in for rugs. Because I think they have the best prices on throw rugs. And I found three that I really liked. Plus a whole cart full. I ended up with five gifts for Christmas. A couple candles for me. And those danish cookies that I love that come out at Christmas time. Some spices. You can't beat their price. And the variety. If you're looking for it and you can't find it anywhere else you will find it here at Ollie's. I couldn't find things and every time I asked an associate, they took me right to the item I was looking for, none of this "oh it's over there to by the?"no they took you to the item you were looking for. Or they found someone to help you find the item you were looking for. Thanks for a great experience....
Read moreOllie's is great! Tons of stuff that is actually things that people need not just junk that ends up there because nobody wanted it. I buy ALL my laundry detergent, deodorant, toothpaste, planters, car cleaning supplies, small kitchen appliances (like toasters and blenders), giant bath sheets for the bathroom, garden supplies, even cheap captain crunch cereal, and I even got my boyfriend nice sets of long underwear to go with the fishing tackle I managed to unearth that he would actually use! All around great...
