This Ollie's is location on Gallatin Pike in the same complex as Ross and Petsmart, and for the…read moremost part is your standard Ollie's location. As with most Ollie's, this store is chaotic at best. No rhyme or reason behind where items are stocked, what items are stocked and honestly the prices too. Oddly an adventure each time. I usually end up at Ollies out of curiosity much less than necessity. My most recent trip came while waiting for my pup to get groomed nearby, so I wandered around and actually picked up a few things including kitchen utensils and socks. Did I need either? Nope. The store is worn and could use some love conditionally, but it is kept clean. Service is hit and miss. Rarely anyone on the sales floor, so most of my interactions have been at the register. Overall, Ollie's is Ollie's, an I'm happy to swing by when in the area!

Today, March 14, 2025, my wife and I went to this Ollie's intending to purchase 960 square feet of…read moretheir fake grass. The size we wanted, 6 X 18 were not wiith the rest of its kind but we found 4, one on the display with other carpets, then there were 3 that were lying separately among other kinds of rugs in the cart with wheels that they probably use to move these rugs. We took the rugs that were on top and was able to get one, which we laid on the floor, a couple of feet from where we were, when a lady suddenly appeared from nowhere and in a not very hospitable tone uttered: "can I help you?". I was glad, the plastic covers were very dusty so the offer was great. Giving her a grateful smile, I said: "you will help us?". In a much more offensive tone than her first approach, she uttered: "that's what we're here for!". The tone was undeniably aggressive, and I could no longer hold back. I asked her if we were doing a wrong thing - trying to get together what we wanted, as I pointed to the rolls that we were trying to reach inside the carpet cart. When I looked back at her, she had already started hauling off the two rolls and returned them to the display. That was very uncalled for because she did not even have the courtesy to ask us if we were buying those rolls! There was no sign to seek assistance anywhere on the wall or we would have heeded. We are not the kind of people who would make a mess and leave; we would have returned what we moved and probably tidied up some (the place is not the tidiest, though she implied that it was and that we were messing it up. As we exchanged heated words, a white man came by and she shifted her warrior expression to a little smile, making my wife say: "why that sudden smile, because he's your manager?"... and it was when she said: "I am the manager". Very frustrated, my wife said, "let's go..." and we left. We were very upset because she did not try to listen to us. She must have had a bad experience with some people, but we are not that kind. Though Asians, we are both degree holders and respectful and have been speaking English since we were little. I have a feeling that because of our appearance she approached with an opinion already in her head. Today, she lost a customer and Ollie's, a sale today that would have been at least $500 because we were determined to buy the fake grass and start installing this afternoon. I am less able to control my temper but if someone is able to irritate my wife, I promise, THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THE PERSON! I should've taken pictures, but I did not think about it.

I really like that they sell the 20oz Coke products. Most places only carry the 16oz versions. Although I have never really asked any questions of the staff, this place has always been friendly to me. I wish they had later hours in the evening and open on weekends, but I understand because their client base is probably not large enough to warrant paying someone to stay open later. Nashville seems to be in short supply for places like this. I'm glad Merchant Mart is here for concessions type businesses.

This place feels a lot like it... but... I don't know. Part of it is probably the location, right in the middle of industrial Elm Hill Pike. Part of it is the ambiance, which feels more like a small warehouse than a store. Part of it is the very blase attitude of the employees: they're very whatever, when I'm looking for a smile and some chitchat. They've got lots of great snacks and they're cheap cheap cheap. Stuff looks like vending food stuff and at least 25% cheaper. Loving that. There's janitorial stuff, business stuff, office supplies, that kind of thing. You can get in and out there faster than Sam's, and it's reasonably priced, but it's got a chilly attitude, and not very inviting.

Overstock Outlet, a sister store to The Yard Sale Store, has a few locations around the Nashville…read moreMetro area including this store situated in a small plaza on Main Street in Hendersonville. Overstock Outlets are essentially liquidation/discount style stores with an ever-changing inventory that includes anything from furniture to diapers, trampolines, toys, coolers, and legit more. In our trip to this location, we didn't have a list, just a piqued curiosity of their current inventory. They had a good selection of indoor and outdoor furniture, along with a wide variety of household appliances, home decor, cabinets, storage bins, dining sets, mattresses, mowers, power tools and a mix of a few other random items. The store is in an old plaza and shows its age. The exterior isn't the most welcoming, but I will say that our experience inside was not what was expected from the outside. It was a bit better than expected. Service was friendly. The cashier/associate was helpful and available as needed. We laid eyes on a few things, and ultimately bought a smokeless wood fire pit that was around $100 after discount...which is a great price! Overall, this was our first time at this Overstock Outlet and while it may not be our last, we do enjoy their sister locations a bit better.

In short, the Yard Sale Store is a large warehouse store filled with wholesale items including…read morefurniture (outdoor and indoor), clothes, lawn and garden goods, mattresses, pool tables, camping supplies, vanities, candles, rugs and several other miscellaneous items! While it may not be a huge spot, it is filled to the brim with goods of all varieties and is certainly still a store that I can and have easily been entertained at for a while. We popped in looking for some furniture in the form of a dining table set and we ended up leaving with a candle, some outdoor lights and a cooler...none of which we were after or truly in need of. Back to the table...they had a table we loved, but they had it due to some damage on it and unfortunately the scratch was a little too deep to fix so we sadly passed. Most of the items are new in package, but they do sell second life items that feature some variety of damage. Nothing glaring, but enough to be noticeable on most of these items. Overall, The Yard Sale Store was a cool spot to spend some time on a weekend afternoon. While we do not find ourselves in Mt. Juliet too often, when we do...this place with be on the radar!

Because of the name, I guessed the Idea Hatchery was a shared workspace or a writing collective. It *only* took me [redacted] years to get out of my car and walk in to see what's what. Flanked by an antiques shop and an art gallery (if you've done Tomato Arts Fest you know right where this is), the collective's appearance is a bit nondescript but that makes the discovery all the better, no? Inside the threshold are eight uniquely (east) Nashville businesses. As an incubator, the Hatchery is a perfect spot to test out concepts and gain sea legs before opting for a bigger location or an expanded footprint. It's a great go-between from online/out of the house to stand alone brick and mortar. I believe this is the spiritual parent to the Shoppes on Fatherland. Right now the current occupants tend to skew a bit 'female' in what they do (fashion, art, etc.) but that's not to say that there isn't a lot for a number of demographics to choose from. Selfishly, I'm hoping that some sort of food/treat business takes up residence in the shops. Toffee? Taffy? Shaved Ice? I can keep going folks. Actually, an old-timey, regional candy store would fit in well. Boom. I just found your newest tenant. Sort of. East End has a lot of fun businesses to explore. Next time you're in the neighborhood, scoot just a bit past that (locally) famous intersection and get a taste of what the area has to offer. I think you'll enjoy what you find. At the very least, it's a nice way to pass the time on a lazy weekend day.

One point of confusion is the parking. It's technically free, but you have to register inside to get a voucher after scanning a QR code posted outside. The marketplace is not a particularly busy area unlike downtown, so I'm not sure why the marketplace has to make it so complex. I'm not sure there are many people parking and walking off...

Anyway, there's free parking buuuut I guess you have to jump through a few hoops to get it (there's literally nothing else around so why not just allow people to park and come in?) A good amount of stuff going on in here: you can find clothing (more on the conservativ/athleisure wear side of the spectrum), gifts, snacks, a salon, cycling classes, coffee, a Mediterranean food stand, an Italian restaurant and more. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface! While I didn't try any of the food options besides the gourmet popcorn place (which is surprisingly affordable for gourmet popcorn!) I loved the drinks I had at both Eat Bubbles (boba, matcha etc) and the irresistible Pont Neuf wine bar (both of which I'll review separately). And perhaps best of all: they have great seating areas throughout in which you can set up shop for working remotely, drinking your drinks, eating your snacks... so have at it!
