Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is set to open on Oct. 9, officials announced on their website.

Ollie’s locations sell surplus inventory and closeout merchandise, resulting in discounted prices on a variety of groceries, clothing, home decor, books, toys, mattresses and more.
The store purchases goods from big brand manufacturers from across the globe, often getting refurbished items like electronics or irregular flavors of top-shelf food items, according to the website.
