they have alot of healthy snacks that are really cheap and I even found some protein drinks that were also very cheap

Yesterday my sister I was at this Ollie's in New Bedford, MA and right when we walk in we hear a man reprimand a cashier about sitting. So we look over and we see no customers waiting to cash out or anything. Talk about micro management.. why can't see relax her feet when no one is around?? Is it any skin off this man's back? I worked in a fast paced factory setting and an American Eagle store before and it wasn't that serious. I don't know who or what this man's role is but if he really didn't want an employee to be comfortable at work then he should've assigned her something else to do while she waited for customers. I've seen this cashier work there before and she is friendly and works so I really don't know what this man's problem was. Oh and also, I was shopping in the bathroom section when I saw father and son(customers) testing out a soccer ball and this man really said "we have to sell that so dont do that." I see nothing wrong with testing out a product you're potentially going to buy. If I take it home and it's flat I would return it so why not give it a little test. Needless to say the duo walked away and I don't blame them, I personally would've walked out that store really upset. So I give 5 stars to the cashier because she held her composure for the most part, she was upset rightfully so. And I DEDUCT 3 stars for that man's micro management behavior at a RETAIL store because I don't believe all Ollie's have someone like that working there and I really do enjoy Ollie's most the time. So hectic, stressful and poor work environment. Disappointed..I hope to never experience this again. read more

I think this is a version of the building 19 that used to be in the area. It's been so long. It's hard to compare the two stores. Ollie's is not bad. I think I was expecting more discounted items, but overall it's worth a look. I understand that it is a lot of different things. So if you don't find something this week or this month, go back and you'll see different things. I was impressed by their book selection. read more

Was very excited to get our Ollie's flyer in the mail, so we decided to take the trip to New Bedford just to buy a few things on sale. We were overly enthusiastic with our carriage full until checkout. The young lady was very nice, but would not honor the sale price on the flyer , she talked with the manager and told us he said No, cannot give us the Candy because it wasn't the right colored bag. Same Candy, Same weight, wrong color!!! Then we tried to buy 2 cans of spray oil, but no price was on the cans, no upc symbol, we said forget it and cashed out our $139 of merchandise. This is a new store, but they better work out the kinks! Will not be going back to that one in New Bedford! Instead of calling the manager on a cell, she left us stranded at the register waiting patiently for her to come up with answers. Customer service just isn't there! read more
