Good place to check out if there's one near you. Their website has a store locator. Stores are in Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.
I've found many great things for the railroad there. About 3 years ago I discovered their toy isle. Wow, what a find. They had closeouts on Imex Diecast trucks and vehicles. I have a fleet of Texaco Tanker Trucks and Cargo Vans tucked away in the basement. They were going for 99 cents a pop. Currently in my store they have a nice stock of IHC remnants. I picked up the IHC all white versions of the old Tyco Church and Lighted Factory Building. They were only $6 each. I also picked up some IHC bulldozers, tractors, and tanker trucks. Those too were 99 cents.
You never know what they'll have and they carry everything from books, carpet, flooring, tools, decor, toys, food. You name it. Worth a visit and you'll save bucks.

There's no Ollie's close to me in Virginia, but when I travel, I do stop in to see what they have. Last year's fall trip to PA the wife and I stopped in one, and I got some IHC trucks and buildings cheap. They do have a wide variety of stuff, and it's usually worth the stop to see what's in stock. I picked up a B-B-Q instrument set in a windowed aluminum case for $5 last year, and using the case for my HO trains to travel in.  Used the flipper on my grill outdoors, too. Too bad they're not in Virginia, but they may be coming in a few years, after talking to a manager up north, they said they were expanding towards Virginia. Yay!

| I wish we had more things like that around here. It's all just "big box" stores anymore.
