Ollie's is a Walmart meets a Dollar Tree. No, everything isn't a dollar but it sure as heck is cheap and inexpensive. And yes, I mean cheap. The store is tidy and pretty well organized with departments and shelving that is neatly on display. You'll find all sorts of stuff, much of which is always here and some of which is seasonal or special. Cleaning products, laundry detergent, soaps. Tshirts and underwear and socks. Small appliances including fans and portable air conditioners, cookware and mattress sets. Dishware, cutlery, glassware, kitchenware and cookware. Food items including canned vegetables, sauces, pasta and candy. Patio furniture. Area rugs and runners. A huge display of bargain books. If you have an open mind, you'll end up filling your shopping cart at Ollie's. [Review 15412 overall, 915 of 2021, number 2962 in North Carolina.] read more

See all

I used to love Ollie's but the last 2 times I went in with a list of things I wanted, they didn't 't have anything on my shopping lists,

It is what it is, it's a bargain outlet, it might be a three if they'd renovate the bathroom or at least clean it once a month. The bathroom is uninhabitable and half the merchandise is out of date. The place is, overall, a disaster most days. They have a decent book selection and sometimes the toys aren't bad for the kids around Christmas. Sometimes you can get a decent deal, but I urge you to check dates. PS. Clean your f'n bathroom. Good Lord. read more

It's just no fun to go shopping any more. Every store you go into is the same. Shelves are empty, prices seem to go up daily, no help to be found and looong lines at check out. Went into this Ollie's because were in the area and we had a 15% off of one order coopun we were going to use. When we went to check out, of course, the was only one cashier working and the woman at the front had 2 carts full of coffee pods she was returning with the cashier struggling to find each item on what he called one of the longest receipts he has ever seen. The process was taking forever and on top of however long it was going to take to finish the return, the woman had 2 more carts full of coffee pods she was going to buy. There was another employee just roaming around upfront but he did not make any effort to open another checkout lane to help with the looooong line, so the line just continued to get longer and longer. Even my wife, who is normally way more patient than I am, got tired of waiting so we just left our cart and walked out. read more

Love. Love. Love this store! They have so many items from a huge book selection to furniture to the latest TV gadgets and even the whole Copper pan cook set. You'll be amazed at what you can find. Bath towels, tools, spray paint, kid's toys and so much more. It's a must try and conveniently located near the Valley Hills Mall. You will not be disappointed. Every town needs an Ollies! read more

This, to me, is like Odd Lots, on steroids. There are a lot more selections within the store, within categories of my interest, for example carpets/area rugs, books, kitchen cookware. Buyer beware, as is always the case. They had a full DVD set of Ken Burn's Civil War, listed as "valued at $199.00," on "sale" at $99.00. I can get it at Amazon for $50.00 (with free shipping). I didn't ask, but they might do a price match? read more

Ollie's Bargain Outlet - Discount Store Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

Ollie's sells just about everything. Books? Check. Kitchen gadgets? Check. Laminate flooring? Check. Games? Check. Foodstuffs? Check. Rainboots? Check. It's a no frills outlet but you can find some really good deals. I've found brand new recently published novels for $3.99! I love browsing the aisles to see everything they have. If you need something random, pop into Ollie's. They probably have it and it's probably cheaper than you could buy anywhere else. read more

This store is a deal searcher's paradise. Pretty good book selection with fair prices. Kitchenware, floor coverings, linens, bedding, some appliances and even a small amount of food dry and can goods. There is a small section of clothing that varies with the season. I enjoy browsing this store occasionally. There is minimal staff for assistance so you're on your own to shop at your own leisure. read more

Best store ever. I wish I had one like it in my hometown :-( I got SO many high quality things for super cheap prices. The best were all of the kids items!!! Is there a store like this in Denver??? Please help! read more

In typical holiday busy and buzz the store was packed and everyone preoccupied but a single passing associate (Ryan) took time to ask if I needed help, I explained what I was looking for and he immediately took me to multiple options that would make the perfect gift for the person I was shopping for. Ryan was so friendly and encouraging stating he thought my choice was a good one, etc. because of Ryan's assistance I found a great gift I was unable to find at other stores and I didn't feel like I was shopping at a discount store at all because of the personal and caring customer service I received from an associate that just happened to be passing by in a busy store and took the time to help a customer. read more
