I moved up to the Poconos from the LV last winter, and I used to go to the Ollies in Allentown all…read morethe time over the years I lived there, and I found a lot of nice items and super deals! Once a dog was hoop, for under 50 cents! Many brand name beauty items, great pet stuff, it's way better then one of Catasaqua Road, so I been dying to come in and look and finally was able to. First off, I will say the staff here is super friendly!! & to me that makes a store trip so much better! Even if you're not happy with anything or don't find what you want, having great,helpful,friendly employees makes the store shine over stores that may even be high end but nasty snobby employees. I wish this store tho had a bigger book selection, one in Allentown is huge, and since I was a teenager and first moved to PA, Ollies was my go to book spot! I did find a few books & some really awesome adult coloring books, so win there. Saw some great deals on many snacks and other food items. I myself, have never had an issue with old food from Ollie's, meaning it tasted bad. Many dates on things don't mean crap, have to be put on bc of laws. But so much has preservatives, and other junk that makes it last til the next ice age. I do wish the candy section was cheaper, was no real deal there. The drinks though!, great deals! Ollipops were half+ off! And got a 12pk too of glass Welch Juice bottles, and way cheaper then the regular stores. Loved that I found Nike Hoodies here!! Never seen Nike at Ollie's, other brands like Puma or Champion, never Nike. And the colors are beautiful, and not the leftover ugly colors or styles they get often. Found some nice beauty products; great deal on a higher priced recovery treatment hair product, low of $1.99! While online I saw super expensive! And reviews on this is great! So I will be back and hope to grab more for the family. So all in all, it's a decent store, not as big as some Ollie's. But also this isn't the overpopulated Allentown area, where stores are packed always everywhere. So they need to stock up. And like all stores, each will have deals and finds you won't find in others. And also have to go every so often to see what the new deals and items are. As it changes. Which I love. If your uppity or boujiee, this isn't for you. If you like a treasure hunt for deals and special finds, that are extras that didn't sell and others can't get rid of, then check out Ollie's. No matter what, you will atleast have very nice interactions with the staff. I will def be back. Before and after holidays are a great time too btw

There is truly something for everyone in this store. Whether it be model cars, trains, action figures, or vintage figurines, antiques, oddities or artifacts, or even minerals, crystals and gemstones, this place has something for you. Serendipitous items catch one's eye from out of nowhere, here. It's almost as if the shop itself is magic, like something out of the Twilight Zone. The owner himself has a somewhat magical and serendipitous vibe. I felt blessed to have bought his wares. Don't miss this shop when you come to the Steamtown mall-- you'll find something calling your name.

And the way employees aren't allowed to say thank you or return a 'Merry Christmas' shows their lack of appealing to the majority while willing to bend over backwards for the minute minority. I might add about my wondering how target treats their employees since hardly any of them have smiles, look you in the eye and say good morning / afternoon. The one good feature about target (Dickson City, PA) is that being a guy I have no issues with women entering the 'men's' room. The 'identify' as a woman sex abusers leave more accessibility for straight guys. Not so much fun for the very young or elderly females.

Ho Ho Ho or should i say i gotta go go go to the bathroom…read more my friend was using the lav in target. honestly annoyed there's only 1 and it's in the front. one time i had my sis and she had to go and we were back in the seasonal section. and i had to run her to the front so there was no CLEAN UP IN SEASONAL. Anywho. my friend had to go and part of the joy of a long trip to the lav is catching up on this and that on ur phone. bad news. no cell service. Something important could have happened while she was in there and she wouldn't have known bc there was no service. it's not much to throw a wifi box in the bathroom. i took off 2 stars for the hassle. also i the line for starbucks is always long. on a good note xmas tree farm was playing so at least she was able to sing and be occupied during her stay in the bathroom. pic for reference below. happy holiday!

I waited a few minutes outside because I wasn't sure if they were really open and I waited back until I saw a brave soul go to approach the door and it opened. That was my cue to make it through the door. I made my way back to the furniture section to look over items and then right over to the electronics. There wasn't much to see here. You would have thought with the amount of vehicles in the parking lot meant that there were rare antiques in the store. The store itself isn't all that big. It is definitely on the smaller side.
