Ollie's Bargain Outlet is a discount store which sells merchandise way below its wholesale cost and is one of the largest retailers of its kind in America. In total, there are over 333 stores, in 23 states. These big-box format stores don't look particularly fancy, but you will definitely love the prices. In 1982, it was founded by Mort Bernstein, in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. His philosophy was to sell good quality products at great prices. The main goal of this company has always been offering the lowest possible prices.

In the 1990s, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet started a loyalty program which would allow customers to earn more savings with their purchases. In 2014, Ollie’s started to expand into the Southeast and in 2015, it became a public trading company.

At Ollie's Bargain Outlet, the price tags are really low because the company takes advantage of closeouts, overstocks, package changes, irregular items, refurbished goods, and bankruptcy sales of other retailers, suppliers, and manufacturers all around the country. That’s the reason you can find great bargain prices in every department such as houseware, flooring, sports, and groceries, etc.

Many of the items which are offered at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet come from the finest manufacturers. If a manufacturer is overstocked or decides to change their packaging, Ollie’s buys these products from them and offers them to its customers for really cheap. If you don’t mind old packaging or wearing last year’s trendy colors and patterns, you can buy popular brands at incredibly affordable prices. That's the advantage of shopping at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet. When the season is over you cannot find most of these items in other stores for such low prices. But don't worry, Ollie’s constantly watches out for new opportunities and buys new stuff for really cheap, then passes on the savings to you. In case you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it and ask for a refund - every item you buy from Ollie’s Bargain Outlet has a 30-day “No Hard Time” guarantee.
