Ollie's Bargain Outlet — Local services in Saint Peters

Just was not impressed compared to all the hype about this place. Today was their big grand opening but the only thing big was the crowd.... Walking around the store I saw nothing different than the old store that was here before it...... Big lots ... Except this store was nothing but organized... chaos.... The items you could purchase were no different than a family Dollar or a Big lots .... And the three items that I would normally purchase on a regular basis could easily have been bought elsewhere much cheaper..... I believe lots of other people felt the same way as I saw many people walking out empty-handed. Maybe this is a great store and maybe the store is for you but for me personally I didn't see anything that was impressing to me considering all the hype and advertisement they had.. LINES ARE TOO LONG. TRAIN MORE PEOPLE TO WORK REGISTER WTH. PERHAPS A SELF CHECKOUT?!?!sorry...

I went into the Ollie's to look for a couple of items listed in a paper flyer I received in the mail. Sale on flyer noted to start today, Wednesday, August 13th. None were available and when asked, was told that they didn't know it started today. Thought was tomorrow. She said.."well, they are probably on the truck and not unloaded" Browsed the store. Most items can be purchased at Target or Walmart for about the same price, and in many instances Walmart or Target would be cheaper. A stoneware planter was $19.99??? Not a deal. Checkout was long, so wouldn't have waited to check out anyway. I'll not...

I've been an Ollies customer since they opened up in Texas a few years ago. I moved to Missouri in May just before Ollies was ready to open. I was so excited to see that they were getting one and now that they do, I can't stop shopping there. A full size name brand crock pot for $25 is a steal. I won't go into any details about the brand. You will have to stop in and find out. They also have a rewards program which is also amazing. Brand New stuff, for way below regular store prices. Can't get it...
