    Warehouse feel inside
    Janine M.

    This place used to be amazing but over the last couple of years it's turned into what everything else has turned into: a money grab. This is the place where damaged goods or overproduced goods from target, Sam's and Costco go to hope for new life in someone's home. But be careful.. just because you're shopping at an outlet doesn't mean you're getting a deal. That same item might still be cheaper at the box store. Returns are finicky here so consider your purchase a final sale. And check the dates on food items because the people who stock the shelves don't. It's really hit or miss here. Come with enough time to look, like thoroughly look but also come with little expectations because you may end up leaving with nothing at all.

    12/16/23 Not as impressed as I thought I would be....I suppose it depends on what you're looking for and what you're actually going to find. ELS Outlet is a collection of Costco items that have been marked down due to slight damage to the packaging or its an open box item, surplus, etc. The organization is a bit skewed because the aisles are not labeled & inventory on shelvings appear to be in disarray. There doesn't seem to be any particular order to the way their products are displayed. It's not exactly a huge mess but things are a bit cluttered. The bigger ticket items hug the walls: TVs, appliances like microwave ovens, stovetops, lawn mowers, kitchen sinks, fridges, freezers. Clothing take up a huge part of the floor which is in the middle: rows of aisles & clothing also in hangers & racks. We found some counter chairs but the ones we wanted were marked as "sold" already. Of course, most are single pieces without other matching or pairs. If you're a bargain hunter & have a lot of patience sifting through miscellaneous items that aren't necessarily matching-this would be the perfect place for you! Sometimes you get lucky & find exactly what you're looking for-but just know that it could be a one off & you will probably never see that item again. You probably have to visit this place several times to see what's "new"and revel what else they have to offer. For this visit, I found a box of Christmas card collection-$22 for 24, not bad when each card could easily cost between $6-10 EACH!!! Now that's a bargain! These were definitely much better & elaborately design cards by Papyrus. I'm totally happy with this purchase & actually regret not buying a second box.

    Coming to this store makes one feel like being a kid in a candy store. You never know what you are going to find here. This store offers sooo many different products such as home goods, garden products, home, gym equipment, clothing, furniture, school, and on and on and on. All items are priced to sell. Some items have damaged packaging which allows for rock bottom pricing yet the contents are 100% in new condition. This large place is definitely worth the trip no matter where you live

    Not much to say, but store is messy, employees are never around to help or answer questions. It's a pass for me.

    On their website, I scheduled a pickup for books, just books. The website gave a checkbox for books…read moreso I checked the box for "Books". I placed them on the porch, shrink-wrapped in several bundles and waited for pickup. The driver arrived, looked at the stack of books and said, "Just books? We don't take books." He supposedly called his supervisor and the driver said the supervisor would call me --- which he NEVER did. Driver said the supervisor said "no books" and the driver left without picking up my donation of books. I then called their 800 number and the guy on the phone tried to twist the facts by saying the driver didn't pick up the books "because they weren't in boxes or bags." THAT IS NOT WHAT THE ONSITE DRIVER OR HIS SUPERVISOR SAID -- THEY SAID "WE DON'T TAKE BOOKS". Period. No books. THE DRIVER SAID NOTHING ABOUT BAGS/BOXES FOR THE BOOKS. HE SAID WE DON'T TAKE BOOKS. PERIOD!! No, they want the family jewels instead. I will NEVER try to donate to this organization again. Inserting their own narrative about bags/boxes after the fact, twisting the facts, makes them LIARS! Be sure to video your encounter with the driver because they lie. (In fact, come to think of it, I have a Ring video of the encounter.)

    It's very affordable and hard working employees specially Jessica she helped us with everything we…read moreneeded
