STEVENS POINT – Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is on track to open in a few months in Stevens Point.
A spokesperson for the company told a Stevens Point Journal reporter the brand is planning to open in early September in the former Big Lots Home space at 5601 U.S. 10 in Stevens Point.
Ollie’s Bargain Outlet first confirmed in February it hoped to open between Dunham’s Sports and Ross Dress for Less by mid-June.
Ollie’s opened its second Wisconsin store in Rothschild in October 2024 and has since grown to 12 Wisconsin stores operating in Beaver Dam, Fond du Lac, Grafton, Kenosha, La Crosse, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Mount Pleasant, Neenah, Rothschild, Sheboygan and West Bend.
According to its website, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet first opened in 1982 and offers closeout merchandise and excess inventory. Its stores offer bargain prices on items like housewares, flooring, food, cookware, toys, games, electronics and more. Buyers find various items from all over the world like leftover stock from companies that are closing, excess inventory and overstock items, items with outdated packaging and more.
Big Lots Home first opened at the former Walmart site on U.S. 10 in November 2023, offering an expanded selection of home décor and furniture at discounted prices, as well as home products organized by room. The company announced its closure by the end of 2024 due to financial challenges and difficult consumer markets.
