This review is based off my experience a few months back. I'm a tad behind on my reviews but…read morefortunately still have my notes. While thrifting in the area the furniture outside caught my eye. Although this store wasn't on my thrifting radar, once inside I had a case of Deja vu and believe I might have been here in the late 90's. Not really a thrift store, it's a bit strange in the merchandise they carry, as well as layout. There's room set ups consisting of used and antique furniture pieces, many priced much higher than they should. Off to the side is "buyout" type merchandise (think Ollie's) - which was reasonably priced. In the back were older items, well past their prime that perhaps were from a yard sale or picked from someone's curb on trash day. Further in the back is new, modern (although some a bit tacky) furniture that's cash and carry and/or rent to own. Even with the displays the space feels like a warehouse filled with stuff. Somethings were admittingly unusual (throne chair, suit of armor), but most were mundane or dated items you could get anywhere for less. There's a distant smell throughout like musk and mildew. The cashier/front desk had a pawn shop feel and I wouldn't be surprised if that's how some of the items were obtained. There seemed to be some "regulars" hanging out just for something to do that didn't appear to be making purchases. There's no one on the sales floor to assist you. So while I love thrifting and hunting for unusual pieces, this store didn't cut it for me. It's suffering from an identify crisis for one, and has too many things going on to really know for sure what it is - antique store, yard sale, salvage, etc. Prices were unreasonable for the majority of the items for sale, customer service non existent, and I wouldn't pay them another visit.

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.

My wife and I went in on Saturday and it had a good amount of foot traffic. When we went in they were having one of the furniture store "sales!" Which we all know is BS. They mark up the prices on everything and then tell you it's 30% off and they usually offer a little extra to make you feel special. It's a trick that definitely works on most people...especially older people who aren't computer savvy. The salesperson was very helpful and we didn't make it easy since we couldn't decide on a color. We almost ordered a Rowan leather recliner in custom leather for $1230 that day. They had one on the floor that was in stock in a different color leather for $1030. I was also told that delivery to my house would $100 and delivery to the store for me to pick up would be $40. We decided to take some color swatches home with us and sleep on it until Sunday. We ended up picking the color they had in stock instead of a custom color. I figured I would check online just to see if I was getting the best deal...Boy I'm glad I did. Wayfair had the same chair they had in stock for $732 and free shipping plus I had a 10% off coupon in my email in the morning no doubt because I had the chair in my shopping cart and didn't follow through with it yet. It brought my price down to $702 with tax and free shipping for a Rowan Manual Rocker Recliner by La-Z-Boy Qty: 1 Upholstery: Leather Mate Natural Reclining Type: Manual Recline Motion Type: Wall Hugger So I waited until the next day figuring I would go back to the store since they price match just to give the salesperson an opportunity to make the sale since she did help us ultimately. I walked in and showed her the wayfair price and she said she doesn't think her manger will go for that since it's over $300 off of the price. I said no problem I'll order from wayfair. She then proceeds to tell me that wayfair just sits it in your front lawn when they deliver. First and foremost it's free delivery which the lazy boy store didn't offer. Second they put it on your porch just like ups/fedex do...we've ordered plenty from wayfair. Third they offer a bunch of delivery options for different prices. The first option up from free delivery is carry it into your room of choice unpack it and take the trash for $19.99. So just that options half the cost of their pick it up from the store option. So needless to say I ordered it from wayfair and saved a ton of money but ultimately wanted to write this review to let people know that furniture prices are negotiable and do your research before buying. I just feel bad for the seniors that go into stores like these and get taken advantage of because they don't realize that it can be had for much,much cheaper.

Behind the greenhouse, we had a delightful time listening to our instructors who clearly have worked side by side at the farm. Educational facts about herbs with a sprinkling of humor began the event. It is so wonderful to attend a class where they share their knowledge about the herbs and their uses. They give you salient advice that helps you decide on which herbs fit the taste profile you enjoy so you build your herb pot on what fits you. Then to top it all off they gave us a handout that covered trimming, drying and pairing herbs as well as a few recipes! A wonderful experience! Thank you for making my Mother's day extra special!
