After months of construction, hiring, and waiting, the new Ollie’s Bargain Outlet in Albany, GA finally has a grand opening date. The new store, located in the old Toys R Us building next to the Albany Mall will host their grand opening on Wednesday August 9, 2023.
The Albany store is one of three Ollie’s locations in the US opening on that Wednesday. For shoppers in the Good Life City, the doors will be open starting at 9 am. Ollie’s promises to have a variety of deals and offers for their opening experience, and have published a flyer with lots of products.
The official flyer, seen below, also gives details of at least one doorbuster promotion. Ollie’s says the first 500 people to join “Ollie’s Army” – the store’s customer loyalty program – will get a free tote and calendar.
