I visited the Gardendale Flea Mall today and at first glance it looked slightly thrown-together…read more However in all fairness, I think the issue is poor lighting, which is an easy fix for the small store. Each booth is chock full of different collectibles and I think the prices are reasonable for the items I looked at. I also spoke with the two Cashiers when I paid for my purchase and they were friendly. The store is air conditioned, pet friendly, and there are plenty of parking spaces located in front of the store and at the side of the building. I hope to stop by again the next time I'm in the vicinity, because I didn't have time to walk downstairs to checkout the collectibles in the basement.

Well, I revisited Sozo Trading Co. today and I was greeted warmly again when I entered the store…read more The clothing selection looked just as great as it did the last time I was in the store and I also noticed other things such as beautiful glassware, dishes, sturdy furniture, electronics, a variety of linens plus several light fixtures and nice lamps. And then I noticed the jewelry, because the last time I visited I was looking for mystery jewelry jars and today I was happy to see five or six baggies absolutely full of costume jewelry that appeared wearable along with beads and watch parts and just everything I could use for crafting and repurposing with jewelry. So, I purchased two jewelry bags and the contents did not disappoint me when I opened them at home. So, it was another productive and great day shopping at Sozo Trading Co. In addition, there is always plenty of free parking and if you have the time there are a couple of restaurants nearby.

At their 10 year celebration, it was such a fun environment! They had raffles , special pricing and even had a coffee truck on site. I really enjoyed coming here to celebrate with them! The staff is hardworking and seem to enjoy their jobs.

Owning Air BnBs, Ollies provides great shampoos and soaps like Dead Sea brand from Israel, or Pantene or even Head and Shoulders. Their towels, sheets and blankets are often great quality for a steal. Coffee pods and a large can of ground coffee are almost 30 to 50%?off normal price. Just check dates. This store in Trussville was not as big or quite as nice as the Galleria one but it was fine. You don't get Macy's or Nordstrum atmosphere at these prices! Join their army for free and get great discounts and special sale hours. We had one tonight from 4 to 7 pm with 25% off holiday & toys plus 15% off everything. Turns good deals into fabulous!

The products I mainly buy are chips, candy and washing detergent. What I also like is the fact that Ollie's always gets new products so it's never the same experience when shopping.

I always enjoy venturing to Ollie's. I am always able to find some good deals, as they have a…read morevariety of items. What I have come to find is that if you want something there, you have to go ahead and grab it. The next time you go back, it may not be there. I have been several trips and I found some juice that I really liked. The next time I went back, I got another one. I should have grabbed tons of it, because it was eventually gone and has not returned. So I would definitely suggest you buy some items in bulk. The type of juice that I purchased is normally $5.00 higher at other stores. So I should have gotten more. I have noticed that this is the trend with many of their products. I have been able to find great deals there on Kcups for my coffeemaker. It is priced much cheaper and they always have a different variety. I am also in love with their rug selection. We purchased rugs there for our home and have been absolutely pleased. They also sell food, clothes, and other home items. I would encourage anyone to visit. The customer service is also top notch at this location with all of their employees lending a helping hand. They take precautions seriously too and have markers to maintain social distancing. Plus, they have Ollie's Army where you can join for free to get rewards. I save my coupons for Customer Appreciation and am able to save a lot. I really enjoy visiting and I'm glad that they finally got a location close by home.

I never like to write a bad review, but i always am a honest yelper. So for starters, the store has no atmosphere, all of the merchandise was, to say the least, not organized at all. And the merchandise they had was junk. Like i said we only buy most things from the thrift, so for us to say this one is bad, that's saying something. I would say maybe stop in and look around if your near it, but don't drive far to come to it for sure.
