This was our first visit to Newington's Ollie's, and we scored a fantastic deal. I am the Committee Chair for a convention next month, and one of the participation activities for the conventioneers will be assembling kits to donate to a Boston charity for children in need. We are set on the school supply side, but we are still a little short on the socks and underwear side for 50 boys and girls. So, when I saw a "15% off" email from Ollie's, it seemed like a divine sign to make a pilgrimage to the new Ollie's in Newington. And guess what we found? How about 5-packs of boy's underwear marked down to $2.99? BEFORE our 15% discount. Thank you, Lord Ollie. Ollie's was stocked to the gills and very neatly shelved. We bought this eclectic mix of goods: a big bag of Dot's pretzels, five boxes of K Cup coffees, a bottle of shampoo, a jar of pickled zucchini, a jar of salsa, and 20 of the aforementioned underwear 5-packs for just a shocking $88. Ollie's is a fun store to browse around in, and today we made out like bandits.

The salesman met us at the door and asked if we needed help. He did not pressure us, just asked politely. We said we wanted to look at mattresses. He was VERY knowledgeable and gave us many choices! We narrowed it down to THE ONE. Ended up buying it today and it will be delivered on Friday. Could have had it on Wednesday but that wasn't convenient for us. I have nothing bad to say. Josh was pleasant and answered all our questions patiently. Not like the usual experience I have had at other Bob's stores!!! We will be returning for two more furniture purchases in the future. And the price was a lot less than we expected!! Have nothing bad to say!!!! :-)

What caught my eye first was the beautiful assortment of colorful summer dresses. These dresses as well as the layout and the design of the store are very reminiscent of Lilly Pulitzer. In addition to the dresses, they have some home decor items, accessories, and some beautiful wine glasses. Everything is super colorful. There's also a section of men's items and items for baby. I'm so glad I discovered this super cute and super colorful boutique. I will be back.

This store has such a vibrant and fresh look to it. The prices are appropriately priced for most of the items in this store. I can't wait to see what kind of home decor will be there in the fall.

Coffee samples also greet you at the door alongside the pleasant enough staff. There are member discount sales and you can pre-order online items for pickup.

The staff are very nice and helpful. I will say that their prices can be pretty expensive at time for some pieces - this could be typical for those types of pieces, but I don't have the expertise to say one way or the other. They do have someone who works to fix up furniture before it is sold, so anything you buy here will likely be ready to display in your house. Also, while I didn't find anything today, I have previously purchased furniture here and my advice would be not to be afraid to negotiate, especially if you are buying multiple pieces. The staff was able to go down in price a bit, so I felt like I got a deal.
