We got 1 bargain the day they opened in Kirksville, MO. Most of the pricing is the same as Walmart…read moreto me-nothing special. We went 3 times-bought 1st time the bargain basement pricing on 1 item, 2nd time gift for xmas and 3rd time did not buy anything. I will say if you want one pot or pan and not an entire set then you can get that there. I rarely see anyone in the parking lot. The other thing was the 3rd time we went there was 1 checkout person, and 5 other people standing around talking up by the checkout we could not figure out why there was a line to checkout and 1 checkout person and 5 people standing around that worked there-not sure-we needed all of them checking people out or being trained, anyway does not matter, do not plan to go back. There was so much hype they were bargain basement pricing, I did not find that to be true. We were not looking for any 1 specific item, but we did a lot of price checking and they just did not live up to the hype I was sold.

Ok I had not been to the new location yet So a couple extra…read morebucks And a bit of time extra Off to cantril Right on Hwy 2 is the new location From the outside it looks BIG Large parking lot But on the inside well.... Spacious More room to walk inside Lunch prime time maybe 12:45 ish Small serve your self and pay by the lb 12/lb plus drink think bishops with not much to choose from Pepsi products for fountain drinks And coffee Smoked chicken, meatloaf, cheesy mashed potatoes, green beans They were out of noodles.... 25 bucks for two for a basic one trip thing Meatloaf was good green beans were ok Mashed potatoes were ok Chicken had a different taste might to have been oak smoked or an exotic wood.. I am spoiled as a chef lol The chicken was ok... No free ice cream they wanted a buck for cup or cone. It was ok on the food... but we drove past a few places that would to have been same price for 2x the food. Off to shopping More room for folks Hard to find some of the specials And out and out bait and switch on the Nathen's hot dog deal the add listed the plain all beef and what was in the store was the ultra spicy ones... That was my main reason for the trip as 99 cents per lb would have been good for a winter stock up item... They did have the biscuits as box of 100 for 20 bucks And bulk fish triangles for 1.99 a lb And Heinz close dated ketchup 44 oz for 2.99 So not a total bust I might be back if I get more freezer space But I do almost as good in west of Bloomfield at Hwy 2 discount

The negative is the awful service that made me rethink driving an hour and a half next time I am in the area. I first called because I was told that they may have Amish Bakery items to make sure they did before I drove over. The lady who answered said they did. I asked if they had brownies thinking she would know what they sale and I got a sigh, hang on. She returned and told me what they had. I drove over to the store expecting them to be busy as annoyed as the lady seemed to be to check on what items they had in stock and was shocked to see 1 person in the store. The face to face service wasn't any better. I think the only things said were, did you need anything else, and my total. Even after thanking HER and wishing her a nice day, I just got an uh huh.

I love Ollie's! Two…read moreof my favorite stores are Aldi and Big Lots and I get both of those vibes when I'm in Ollie's. This location opened in the fall and I think we've been five times or so. The first few times just to browse, but the last couple of times for specific items (air mattress for example). You'll find something different each time you visit. It's like treasure hunting to dig through some of the shelves. I scored some limited edition Method brand hand soap on my first visit. Snagged as many as I could and paid less than half of what I would have at Target. Yes, I get excited about hand soap. A great place to go if you need guest items - I stock up on toothbrushes, body washes, things like that. They have non-perishable food/pantry items. No fresh food. Great place for baking supplies, spices, cereal, shelf-stable items if you aren't really picky about brand names. I would love to see the pet merchandise expanded upon, but they do have an aisles worth right now. Lots of things for the home like rugs, sheets, pillows, towels. Several aisles of toys and a huge area dedicated bargain books. Kitchen, automotive, electronics, office supplies, and seasonal also. While I love a bargain, some of the items at Ollie's are not. We did find an air mattress at Ollie's, but it was much less expensive to get one from Walmart. While their books are 'bargain' prices, I'm not sure they're less expensive than the big box stores. The price tags all have an 'ours' and 'theirs' price. Sometimes there isn't much of difference. I noticed this when buying Halloween candy. I signed up for their rewards program - Ollie's Army. It's easy join and use and you get a coupon for joining. Sign up for their weekly emails, too. The company did a really nice job upgrading the outside of the storefront and appear to be maintaining the parking lot. Customer service has always been above average when we've visited. If you need assistance with something, there are plenty of employees available. Grab a shopping cart - you'll need it!

Our once-a-month trip to this part of Iowa, S.

And the people running the store, always wonderful.

It's somewhat organized but people bring things in so often there is some hunting to be done. Prices are very reasonable I don't think anything here is slated to sell for over $5 or $10. Went a few days with a few people and was able to find dress shirts, cool one of a kind artwork and antique earrings. This place is worth giving a go even if you're not looking for anything in particular. You might just find that a want you have is there and waiting just for you to come pick it up.

Reminds me a lot of them.. They even have a great restaurant in the back with outdoor patio seating I suggest the vegan burrito bowl!
