There's an attached coffee shop with seating also offering pastries. Lots of events and book talks. A great wall of gifts and accessories.

Book Ferret is one of my absolute favorite bookstores, and I always make a point to stop in when…read moreI'm in the area! Though the shop is relatively small, it is not cramped inside and has a great selection. The majority of the store is a fiction section, arranged by author last name, which spans across most of the wall. They also have dedicated sections for several of my favorite topics, such as gender studies, nature, science, and local authors/interest. Each section is smaller than what you'd see in a big-box store, but it doesn't matter because they're perfectly curated -- I would read almost anything I've seen in this store. There is a cart of used books they've just gotten in, but most of the used books are actually shelved alongside the new books in their respective sections. I think this is an excellent use of space, and I like that I can just go look for what I want once, as opposed to searching for something in a used section and then having to search for the exact same thing in the new section if they didn't have it used. There is also a small selection of "last chance" used books at a greatly reduced price. Most, if not all, of the books I saw in this selection were only $2, and they were in great condition! The owner + staff are friendly, and I love their taste in books! If you are near Winston and like to read or know anyone who does, you HAVE to come here.

The store has everything, and I mean everything! You, literally, will lose yourself within this facility, but you absolutely won't mind it at all as you come upon and discover myriads of excellent products to purchase as gifts for yourself or others. What's even better is that they even have a rewards plan where you can build up points to redeem as you shop! Before I even think of shopping at other mega-stores like Sam's Club, Costco or Walmart, I'm definitely checking out Ollie's bargain FIRST!

Having a Starbucks on premises is a nice touch. As other Yelpers have noted, unfortunately this location has felt it necessary to add numerical code locks to the restrooms. I understand the reasoning behind it, but the logistics of needing to use the restroom at the back of the store then needing to traverse to the front of the store to get the code, and back again, is asking a lot and will cause my visits to be cut short.

I have always enjoyed a nice leisurely stroll around Barnes & Noble, hunting for interesting books…read more I am a voracious reader. I have been a member for years now. The discount and earned rewards are worth the cost of membership. I could spend all day there, perusing the various things that interest me. I am not happy with their change to adding a code to get into the bathroom. I realize they had issues with homeless people misusing the bathroom, but as a rectal cancer survivor, I don't have the time to hunt for an employee to get the code. I was literally seconds away from a bowel accident today, then had to turn around and find an employee. I was lucky, there was a guy shelving books close to the bathrooms. What if he hadn't been there, though? If I had to walk to the customer service desk or the register to get the code, I would have definitely had an accident. My suggestion to anybody that has bathroom issues, or small children, ask for the code as soon as you walk in the door. That way, you don't have to hunt for an employee and risk accidents. That is what I will be doing from now on.

I wanted to buy a calendar, I went to the register to check out and the kid working behind the counter was FaceTiming on his phone, proceeded to swipe my card several times on some outdated register, because apparently the owners are too cheap to buy a modern chip reader which is safer, my card wasn't going through, even though I've had no problem using it anywhere else, then the kid said "unless you have cash or another card there's nothing I can do." What shady and terrible customer service. Either you find a way to ring up the item I want to purchase with my valid debit card that has more than enough money for me to buy a stupid $15.00 calendar, or update your faulty registers. Do you want revenue not??
