Ollie's Opens First Store In Nebraska

Ahead of the Fourth of July holiday weekend, closeout retailer Ollie’s is expanding its presence in Nebraska with the opening of its new Omaha store.

Located on 72nd Street next to Marshalls in a former Big Lots! location, the store will feature discounts of up to 70% on a variety of products, including books, flooring, food, and housewares. 

"We are excited to open our first store in the great state of Nebraska, where the folks have been so good to us," said Eric van der Valk, president and chief executive officer of Ollie's Bargain Outlet. "With so many great deals, we're thrilled to provide shoppers in Omaha and its surrounding areas with a treasure hunt experience where they can find a huge selection of merchandise at up to 70% off the fancy stores' prices every day."

Ollie's brings about 50 to 60 new jobs to the local community with each new store it opens, ranging from cashiers to assistant managers. Ollie's employs more than 12,000 associates across the company.
