My favorite store in Clarksville. I was hoping the Tennesseans would share and sure enough in October of 2016, Zephyrhills, FL gained an Ollies & then I think October 2018, Lakeland, FL gained an Ollies right near the mall.
Why is this better than the 2 near me?

Their inventory changes based on what the big stores are getting rid of, so what they have in stock today may not be there tomorrow. It's best to visit frequently and survey what's on the shelves to find deals on stuff you need. They had pool chlorine test strips once at 1/3 the price you can find them anywhere else so I bought enough to last me a couple years...
