Always has been our favorite for some time now we used to go there in Myrtle Beach and Charleston they have things that you didn't even know that you needed vast variety from food items clothing gadgets and they're all very reasonably priced need a rug go to Ollie's you need a chicken coop yet saw one at my last visit right here in Gastonia nice large building plenty of parking and a giant parking lot you got an hour great way to just kind of wander around inside and don't forget to take a basket with you you'll need it read more

It's like Walmart meets a Dollar General meets Big Lots, but not as nice. This is discount store shopping and if you set a low expectation, you will have a very pleasant shop. I did. It's like a flea market. They have some core items but you really never know what you're going to find. Whether it's hoses and auto parts or Easter-themed snickers bars or a bunch of kitchen appliances, it's here today and gone tomorrow. Shelves are stocked a little haphazardly and random. The store is divided into sections but the stuff on the shelves can be a little odd. And that's okay. Take your time, walk each aisle and I am very sure that you will find interesting stuff. I didn't know what I didn't know and I walked out with $20 worth of things that it turns out that I really needed. [Review 12595 overall, 2387 of 2019.] read more

Great stores! You can find all kinds of things from food to pet supplies to home goods. Some stores are neater than others but they are a fun place to shop. read more

This is my first place to look for garden tools, hoses, and supplies. This is a big store with a lot of variety. I agree that it's a lot like Big Lots. You can never be sure that they will have exactly what your looking for ,but if they do it will be bargain priced This time they had gotten in some dog toys and treats, so I stocked up on them. I also got a big box of keuig coffee pods cheap. They have a lot of dry and canned food items. I get my sea salt for $1.00 there. I also got some rustolium spray paint for $1.00 too. I get my plastic and garbage bags here, as well as linens. They also have a lot of books, some toys, auto supplies,rugs ,cleaning supplies and seasonal stuff. If you get an Ollies club card you get a discount after you spend $100.00 read more

Ollie's is kind of like a larger version of Big Lots. They have a great selection of bargain books, food and seasonings, tools, housewares, and other stuff. I actually went there today looking for a rug for my daughter's room and found exactly what I was looking for. The store can be a bit cluttered, but that's kind of a necessary evil when you're dealing with ever changing stock and closeout items. The only downsides to the store are that they rarely have enough lines open and if they get something that doesn't sell well, it tends to hang around for ever. As a toy collector I'm always scoping out to see if they have any cool stuff (oddly enough, they get some of the Mattycollector online exclusives), but a lot of times they seem to have the same stuff for long periods of time and they don't clear it out. Still, an interesting place to stop in to browse or if you're looking for a specific housewares item. read more

I had worked for Ollie's at a different location from Gastonia. There is a lot of selection, but as the other person stated, they do keep a lot of things and it is cluttered. The worst is not enough lines open. In fact I remember that we were always told no more than 3 people in a line. If that is the case, open up more lines. Also for what you make an hour they make you work your butt off and they do not care how you feel or that they are pushing you to do more. If you are dying they still want you to come in and work. But I do enjoy shopping there, they do have some good things. But one thing I will not buy from them is electronics, because they do not always work. I remember people bringing back a lot of electronics because they didn't work read more
