It's a more organized offspring of a thrift store and a church Bazaar. Nothing fancy, but they're true to their slogan,"Good stuff cheap". And cheap it is. Sometimes I find things that are less expensive than at Dollar Tree, only 4 doors down in the same Plaza. That said, you can't always find what you're looking for, but you often find something that you want or need. Hence, kind of like a church Bazaar. It's either maddening as heck or fun, as you sift through the bargains and wend your way to the back of the store to see if that close-out on carpets is something that you like. It's one of those polarizing places. Either you love it or you don't. Ollie's sells many name brand things, from Men's, Women's, and Children's clothes, to accessories, Health and Beauty aids, lawn and garden supplies, art, crafts, pet and school supplies. They have a nice book department, and sell things like Bible covers, Sudoku, crossword puzzles and word searches, as well as books for toddlers to adults. Yes, Ollie's even sells food. Nothing perishable, but you can find anything from Pink Himalayan salt, to candy, and cereal, to your favorite junk food, like pork rinds and cheese balls. I've even found jars of marinated bell peppers, huge jars of minced garlic, and if you like flavored coffee, I've even seen flavored coffee syrups and creamer. True, Ollie's might not have it all, but they sure have a lot of Good Stuff Cheap.

I will start by saying this Walmart is an older one and doesn't appear to be set up on the more modern style Walmarts are going too. That being said-the water was at the back of the store which would've been okay except there were no carts. I attempted to purchase 3 bottles of alkaline water but to my dismay, the cashier snatched them up and told me she couldn't sell them to me. I tried to clarify but she didn't really give a good explanation other than they couldn't be sold and then called a manager. The manager came to the register, didn't acknowledge or address me, or provide a solution other than to radio to someone to take the remaining bottles off the shelf. Not a great interaction but I can't say I'm too surprised. Also if you're not local, you may not be used to paying for bags-just a reminder for those visiting out of town.

I picked up the stuff I wanted and headed to the checkout, only to hear someone shouting that the store wasn't open and she wasn't sure how the door came to be unlocked. (Perhaps she forgot to lock it?) The woman (clerk? cashier? manager?) was very rude, making it seem like it was OUR fault that we were in the store when all we did was walk through the OPEN door. It was about 9:45 a.m. at that point, and I didn't want to wait for the door to be unlocked (again), so I went to Target and bought my items there instead. Also, I didn't want to give this store my business after the rudeness I experienced there. Anyone can have a bad day, but to berate the customers for walking through an OPEN door is beyond insane. I saw in another review that the reviewer described the clerks at this particular store as "mean," and I have to agree that the worker I encountered today is not customer-service oriented.

Today I was working on another Yelp project and did indeed see the store closed, lock, stock and barrel. I did some research on it just now because I'd heard there were some interested buyers so I'll share the article with other Yelpers and the public. Big Lots has completed a deal that will save up to 400 of its approximate 950 stores from going out of business. The closeout retailer said that it has successfully closed its sale agreement with Gordon Brothers Retail Partners that will enable Variety Wholesalers to acquire between 200 and 400 Big Lots stores and up to two distribution centers. Variety plans to operate the stores under the Big Lots brand. Big Lots, which filed for bankruptcy in September, announced the deal at the end of December, after its plan be acquired by Nexus Capital Management fell through and the retailer said it would hold store closing sales at its locations nationwide. "We are pleased to close this strategic transaction, which provides a framework to preserve thousands of jobs, maximize value, and maintain the Big Lots brand," said Big Lots president and CEO Bruce Thorn. "We are working closely with the Gordon Brothers and Variety Wholesalers teams on this transition. We are grateful for the continued hard work and dedication of Big Lots associates across the Company." As part of the deal, Variety may employ Big Lots employees at the acquired stores and distribution centers, as well as select corporate associates needed to support Big Lots' go-forward footprint.

There were 3 Walmart employees just standing there watching all of us... but really only one would help out if needed. Learned a lot as I stood there for so long. Another employee came over and we asked why they only had 5 opened her response was that's all we need... to many employees just standing around doing nothing... At the exit another employee wanted to see our receipt... either trust me to do your work or get rid of the self checkouts. Funny thing is he told us all he does is look to see that it's the correct store number... these guys are beyond unprofessional. Very sad. Definitely not coming back to this dump.
