Chris 2,154 Posted July 1, 2022 I finally stopped in to check out the new Ollie's location in Grand Central Plaza yesterday. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but overall I was kinda impressed with the amount of and variety of stuff they have in there. A lot of is is off brand stuff, at least brands I've never heard of before. But they also had a lot of better known name brand stuff. You just have to look around to find it. I can see this being a stop if you have a bunch of stuff on a list that you need such as light bulbs, cleaners and other household products. I think the prices were pretty good, although I have a feeling on some of the items they may possibly be cheaper elsewhere, but I don't know for sure. And really, who has time to compare prices on things like paint rollers? You're there, you need them, you grab them. Overall, it's a cool store and it's nice to see cars coming and going from that section of the parking lot again. There's not a lot of shopping plazas still going strong. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

banjoman 52 Posted September 9, 2022 Been there to Ollie's a few times and I concur with Chris - you won't find everything there but it's a cool place non-the-less. What's even better is, I don't have to go to Ithaca to go to Ollie's anymore. Woowho! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 2,154 Posted September 10, 2022 A while back we decided it was time to get some new cookware but I didn’t want to buy a whole set. Cue Ollie’s, where I found pretty much what I was looking for. It’s a neat place to poke around and see what they have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
