Ollie's Bargain Outlet opens in 37,000 sq ft South Lansing location

What's not to like about brand name products at bargain prices? Starting today, that's exactly what can be found at the Southfield Shopping Center on the corner of St. Joe and S. Waverly, at the new Ollie's Bargain Outlet. 

 

"We are a value-oriented store," says Ollie's VP of Real Estate, Jerry Altland. "We sell name-brand products at cheap prices."

 

Ollie's carries a wide variety of product, from apparel to electronics to grocery items. The new 37,000 square foot store will open as part of the Pennsylvania-based bargain chain's recent push to open new locations in Michigan. 

 

"Lansing is a nice sized city, and we're moving right across the state," Altland says. "We're trying to fill in from Detroit through the central part of Michigan." 

 

The new Ollie's will celebrate its grand opening on Lansing's southside today with NASCAR star Kasey Kahne in attendance. A new Ollie's is opening in Ypsilanti on the same day, with a Flint location soon to follow.
