Ollie's Bargain Outlet — Local services in Peoria

Lots of free parking and handicap accessible entrance. Plenty of seasonal merchandise with all the stock you would expect everyday. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The bathroom was clean and well stocked. I am a member of the rebel legion and a star wars costumer. Our troop volunteer our time and treasure to the area childrens hospitals twice monthly. I pay for the gifts we give the children and finding books, games, figures etc. at bargain prices is a must. The sick children are so excited and appreciative, it's unbelievable what a difference it makes to a suffering child to have a visit from star wars characters, and then be handed a bag of gifts. Being present with them for even a short time has a huge impact on not only the children but parents, doctors, nurses and staff. Thank you for helping enable us to do a better job. Lastly get some price stickers that can be easily removed. Yours truly Luke Skywalker Rebel Legion. Another great haul from Ollie's 40 adventure books at .99 cents each. These books will make a lot of sick children very happy. A big thank you to whomever Ollie's buyer is. You've done much more for humanity than you might realize. Track me down, I will take you on a troop, then you'll see for yourself the joy you're work brings to children who are sick, scared, and unsure what will happen next. When it's us that happens next, that's when the magic happens with the children, parents and hospital...

My family and I visited this new store last weekend and we got alot of great deals! There is honestly something avaliable for purchase in every category of your life, and at a discounted price! There were quite a few people because it was the grand opening so it was a little crowded but that's okay, it was expected. I was most impressed by the selection of books that they had available, it actually felt like a bookstore! I continued to be surprised upon entering different areas of the store, literally something for every section of the house! I did notice it was just a concrete floor and the isles were a bit narrow, (only one cart can go through at a time) and it also kind of had a certain smell, kind of like a zoo (which I heard people talking about). Despite that, the employees were very kind and helpful along with our cashier Ester, she was such a sweet person! We will definitely be returning again next week to see what new...

I was pretty excited about going to Ollie's, even though it was a 90-minute drive to get there. It didn't really disappoint, because there were some good deals... you're probably going to walk out of there with something. I like the "wild and crazy" branding vibe they have there. I'm taking a few stars off though, because the things they have advertised will probably be long gone by the time you get there. They had advertised some kind of "yarn blowout" where the had bought millions of dollars of yarn (through all stores combined, of course) and had some great deals. My niece is into knitting and she was psyched about it. When we get there, not a stitch of yarn to be found... disappointing. This place would be awesome if you live in the area and can bum rush the doors when they open, but if you're coming from far away like me, expect to...
