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.

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.

Amish Restaurant Run but Blown Away by store…read more My good friend lives not far from PA Dutch Amish Country, so we made a date to hangout and eat together. She's also notoriously about being late, she arrived an hour late so we had ample time to checkout the nearby shops and stores. My love of this store is solely based on the candy section. I'm a sweets and treats person, I love CANDY. Growing up in New York, we had lots of candy stores. The candy selection was huge. So many choices and options, I saw candy I hadn't seen in 30 years. Once you are outside New York, you lose the mom and pop stores that supplied the candies. It was a big, clean store with fruit and vegetables priced that was amazingly low. The local was close by to the buffet. This would be a great day trip into Amish country. You should check it out.

I wasn't dressed up--just in…read moremy cleaning clothes with my hair undone--but I was excited to pick up new curtains for my first floor and grabbed a few books for my kids, since I homeschool. I shop at this location often, sometimes even just to walk around and get a little "mom time," so it's usually a pleasant experience. This visit, however, was very different. At checkout, I handed the cashier my six curtain panels, which he counted and rang up. Since I planned to iron them before hanging, I just placed them back in my cart loosely. While I was paying, a team lead named Guy hovered around me, looked into my cart, and asked if my curtains were "okay" being tossed in that way. I told him they were fine, but instead of moving on, he took them out of my cart and recounted them--as if the cashier hadn't already done so. After carefully sorting them one by one, he even asked if there were eight, despite the transaction showing six. He was the one who miscounted, yet his behavior made me feel like I was being accused of stealing without him ever saying the words. I have never been treated like that in this store before. It was humiliating and frustrating to be singled out when I had done nothing wrong. I'll admit that as I walked out, I had a few choice words for him directly because I was so angry. The fact that he miscounted yet still insinuated I was trying to steal has me absolutely boiling. I was so upset I returned everything I had purchased and decided I will not shop here again. I will also be contacting corporate and the store manager about how I was treated. No customer should ever be made to feel like a thief when they are simply shopping and paying for their items.

You can still see the fountain where the famous YouTube video was taken. Not a lot of super high end stores, but it matches the area nicely. All it needs is an attached cinema to complete the feel of the pet rock era. I hope this place will endure. Unlike the Plymouth Meeting Mall, the exterior stores aren't doing as well as the interior. The Firehouse Subs place just closed. Security is present but not intrusive

With new ownership looking to close and redevelop most of the mall, Berkshire Mall's time is sadly…read moregetting short. What is sad, is while Berkshire Mall is no longer in it's prime, a large portion of the mall's interior remains filled with a mix of national and local tenants. It even has one fully functional fountain, in front of the Boscov's, with the fountain in front of the Sears not being operable for several years. Foot traffic on the weekends is excellent, with a portion of the community still supporting Berkshire. Unfortunately, this malls downturn largely started with the closing of Bon-Ton and Sears within a year of each other. The sale to Namdar Realty Group bought Berkshire into less reputable ownership, with their usual deferred maintenance leading to the mall almost being condemned in 2024 and a large portion of the parking lot being blocked off due to sinkhole issues. The food court upstairs is down to only three stands. What makes Berkshire worth stopping into despite all these problems? While the interior is dated, it is nice and kept clean. There is a fully functional mall retro arcade, Challenge Arcade. Berkshire Mall has one of the few full size FYE's left in the state. Various small businesses add charm and other shopping options. It's a shame that Abrams Realty Group, the malls future new owners, want to close Berkshire. Unlike Exton Square Mall, which they are also redeveloping, Berkshire Mall is not dead and it's far from it. Shame how it's going to end.

The owners are a very friendly, very pleasant couple, who always make me feel welcome and don't make me feel weird for taking so long to browse through everything, even if I don't purchase much.
