Ollie's Weekly Ad This Week

Ollie's in a nutshell: closeouts, "good stuff cheap," and a very long list of stores

Ollie's isn't a traditional supermarket or a typical dollar store. It's a closeout chain. According to its latest annual report, it buys overstock and excess inventory from manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and other retailers, then sells brand-name household goods in no-frills, warehouse-style stores that average roughly 32,000 square feet. That's why the shelves change from visit to visit, and why shoppers type "when does ollie's get new shipments" and "when does ollie's restock" into search. How a return, refund or price-adjustment request is handled depends on the retailer's policy and on local consumer rules. For a purchase that matters, confirm the terms with the customer-service team first.

The numbers keep climbing. The filing for the year ending January 31, 2026 counts 645 stores in 34 states, up from 559 a year earlier, while Wikipedia's current figure is 694 in 35 states. Either way, odds are there's one within a short drive.

Ollie's weekly ad: four-page flyers, several per week

Here's what makes this circular unusual: Ollie's runs overlapping flyers. Looking at the editions we hold, there's a Weekly Ad for 10/21 to 10/28 (4 pages), a Halloween Ad for 10/19 to 10/26 (5 pages), an Ollie's Good Deals flyer for 10/17 to 10/24 (4 pages), and a Stuff Ad for 10/15 to 10/22 (4 pages). The previous Weekly Ad ran 10/14 to 10/21 with 5 pages. Start and end dates change with each edition; check the validity line on the catalogue you are reading before you plan a shopping trip.

The company's own flyer page says the ad is updated weekly because inventory keeps changing, and that previous and future flyers aren't posted. That's one reason AdsSOS keeps the scans handy. It also says item prices are the same at every Ollie's, though limited quantities mean not every deal shows up in every store. Planning a trip? Browse the Discount and General Merchandise weekly ads and the US store directory to see what else is running.

Ollie's Army: the free rewards program

People search "ollie's rewards" and "ollie's rewards sign up" all the time. The program is called Ollie's Army, and per the official page it's free. You earn one point for every dollar spent, and a 10% reward certificate arrives for every 250 points. Reward points don't expire, but your yearly rank (tiers at 0-249, 250-499 and 500+) resets each year. Joining in a store comes with a 15% enlistment offer. Veterans, active-duty members and dependents with valid military ID can get 10% off their whole purchase on the first Tuesday of each month. There's also an Ollie's credit card that earns Army points.

Why does this matter? The annual report says roughly 17 million members, who accounted for more than 80% of net sales in 2025 and spent about 40% more per transaction than non-members. In other words, this is how most people shop there.

Returns, rainchecks, and what you can't do online

Ollie's offers a 30-day guarantee, and the policy page is blunt about it: bring your receipt. Questions like "ollie's return policy no receipt" and "ollie's return policy debit card" turn up in suggestions, but the policy we read states only the 30-day window and the receipt requirement, so ask at the register for anything unusual. A few more facts from the flyer page and the annual report:

• No rainchecks, and selection can sell out.
• No online ordering or delivery; the company calls itself brick-and-mortar only.
• Deals appear in the flyer, but availability depends on your store.

So "can you order online from ollie's" has a short answer: no.

Is Ollie's open on Sundays and Thanksgiving?

Hours and holiday arrangements change with the branch and with municipal rules. For exact times, look at the in-store signage or ask the customer-service desk at your branch. "Ollie's hours on sunday" and "is ollie's open on thanksgiving" are real queries, so call your store or use the locator the week before a holiday.

Where Ollie's came from

Mort Bernstein, Harry Coverman, Mark Butler and Oliver "Ollie" Rosenberg opened the first store in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, on July 29, 1982. They were inspired by Boston's surplus chain Building 19. Headquarters are now in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The company went public on Nasdaq in 2015 under the ticker OLLI and passed $1 billion in sales in 2017. In 2025, Wikipedia says it picked up 63 leases from closing Big Lots stores. The mix of goods is broad: in fiscal 2025, consumables made up about 32% of sales, home items about 28% and seasonal goods about 19%.

Compare with other value stores

Closeout and bargain shoppers often check the Family Dollar weekly ad this week, the Dollar General weekly ad this week and the Dollar Tree weekly ad alongside Ollie's. Two more value chains on AdsSOS worth a look are the Bi-Mart weekly ad and the Ocean State Job Lot weekly ad. Because stock is so different, "is ollie's really cheaper" is best answered on your own list.
