If I had to describe Ollie's, I would call it a warehouse style, discount, department store…read more A bit like a scaled down Walmart combined with a box hardware store that has products like flooring tile that you might not see at Walmart. There's bedding, some electronics, housewares, a pretty large book section, and a lot more. I found some great savings in the non-perishable food section. Probably can save between $2-$3 per item depending on what you need. That can really add up to big savings if you buy 10 or 20 items. One of the things that's a bit more interesting about Ollie's is their "as seen on TV" section that has a lot of discounted, fun and quirky items - such as a night light for inside your toilet bowl.

After being introduced to it on the other side of the state, it was fun to check out a local…read moreversion. I always look quickly through the book section and usually manage to come away with something. My only quibble is that the type of stickers they use really take some doing to come off of books, and often leave a mark. Otherwise, the deals are not as apparent as you're led to believe. A bit like the Costco model: a few big deals to bring you in, and everything else is regular-priced or higher. Don't get suckered...find your deal and get going.

I'm surprised no one has reviewed this location just yet. With that being said, it is my pleasure…read moreto give much deserved praise to this fine establishment. As the store name implies, you're at a bargain discount supermarket of course. Much of what you'll find here are manufacture overstock, limited-run products (cereal especially) and occasionally store brands from outside supermarket chains that don't serve the same region. Sometimes you'll come across items that are a bit roughed up. For the most part though, the contents contained are still in good shape. So don't let the packaging fool you, especially for the amount you'll be saving. Just about everytime I show up here, I've always been able to discover something worth trying. Unfortunately with a store like this, what you find there one day might not be around the next. They once had stocked these awesome Ritz style crackers in individual sleeves for a great price. The flavor was twice as buttery and I truly enjoyed them. But alas, they were gone and nowhere to be found again. Overall I'd consider this a worthwhile experience for those who are budget conscious. The variety of products is astounding and ever-changing, the staff is always courteous and the price is just right. I am very impressed.

They have these funny signs that say what you would pay elsewhere but some of them are so outrageous I don't know where they are comparing themselves to.

The whole complex looks dated, but don't judge this location on it's looks from the outside. Inside of the store is nice, clean, organized, and well stocked. There were very few empty shelves. This Ollie's has one major issue: Store is WAY too small. There is nowhere near enough space between any of the aisles, with most being only one cart wide, making the shopping experience difficult. There is nowhere near enough queue space behind the registers. Ollie's needs to lease the vacant 13,000 sq ft storefront next door and expand into it. Overall, this could be a standout Ollie's if it had more space. Still worth a stop.

It is a little lower-brow--more like Walmart or Big Lots. You have to be pretty careful about what you buy here because some of the Items in departments like apparel and shoes can be of very low quality but what do you expect for like $4? You come to National Wholesale Liquidators cuz you want something cheap like Walmart but you just can't stand going to a filthy place like Walmart. The good thing is that they have mostly everything you are looking for for low, low prices and the people are nice. Plus it's close to the hood and the grocery department actually has some great products and deals. I also love their houseware deals. I found Contact paper here for lining the shelves which I haven't seen in a long time!
