You have to watch the Ollie's merchandise.  I have been lucky enough to purchase the Malden Mills Polar Fleece sheets there, and just a few weeks ago I stocked up on Berkshire throws that I donate to our DHS project for the elderly at church.

We have an Ollies that recently opened in the spring/summer.  Everything was neat and organized when it opened.  Now, other than the book department, it's a real mess!  I had only been in the store the first week it opened and it was nice, but just a week ago I stopped in to see what they had for fall/winter items, and I was thoroughly disappointed in how messy and unorganized the store was.  Stuff was all over the place, shelves were scattered with a mix of everything together and spring and summer items  such as pool stuff were inter-mingled between Christmas items.   I didn't buy anything the first time I went in nor the second time.  I doubt I'll go back again. 


@ciao_bella  a lot of this has to do with the customers. Don't know what's so difficult in folding the merchandise and putting them back where they found them. Sometimes I wonder if that's the same thing they do at home. It's embarrasing to say that most of the times you see women doing this.

 

We bought two tents from them a few years ago and some books but haven't been back since.
