Ollie's Bargain Outlet — Local services in Dunbar

Ollie's is very similar to how Big Lots used to be when they just started in business. All the merchandise is heavily discounted & the prices on most things are about as rock bottom as anywhere else. But be forewarned there is usually a fast turnover on the inventory so if you see something you like, then you'd better buy it when you see it because it may not be available later.

Ollie's store itself is very crowded/cluttered with merchandise,it's rather dimly lit, the aisles are a little narrow, & it has a very "warehouse feel" to it. Some items are very seasonal. In Spring & Summer, there's the usual yard decor items, clay & plastic plant pots in various sizes & designs, gardening tools & watering hoses, etc. Come Fall & Winter, there are snow shovels, salt & other melting chemicals for snow removal, & fall & winter outdoor decor, etc. There are some permanent departments like bath & bed linens, kids & adults books, cookware, floor rugs, etc.

Ollie's is definitely worth a visit if you're living on a fixed income or tight budget, looking for bargains, & not expecting to find Williams-Sonoma or other fancy brand names...

Very nice place to shop. The employees are usually very friendly and I can always find bargains when I visit them. Although I've never been able to find anyone to help me on the floor, the low prices make up for it I guess.

But I have a gripe about a cat tree I bought there. I bought the largest cat tree they had and I barely got it put together because the instructions were useless and the holes were drilled wrong in a couple places, which caused me to have to jury rig it to work. It's very unstable when he climbs it and the material is coming apart in places. I've only had this approximately a month and a half and the two pods where the kitten lays are bending and I'm afraid they are not going to hold up. He only weighs 5 lb but is too heavy for those pods now. I wished I hadn't bought this and went somewhere else because now I am going to have to buy another cat tree and be out the hundred bucks I spent...

This place was an absolute disaster... Like literally, there should ha e been caution tape in front of the doors. It was in complete disarray in every direction there was to look/move. Nothing was/or looked like it was even trying to be organized, and didn't see a single employee doing anything, (except for the 2 creepy older men that were overly proud to be wearing their Ollie's vests) standing up front that looked like they were planning what they were going to do to their next 12 year old victim that walks through the door... Don't show here y'all, I'm serious .. and if you do... you're not gonna feel right for the next few days... I don't know how to explain it, but you'll know what I'm talking about...
