About Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc.

Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. is a U.S.-based off-price retailer listed on the NASDAQ in the United States (United States), focused on closeout merchandise and branded bargains. The company’s model is built around a clear consumer proposition: offer nationally recognized brands, overstock lots, and discontinued items at prices well below traditional retail. That positions Ollie’s as a value-driven general merchandise discounter with a distinctly opportunistic sourcing model, differentiated from both conventional department stores and broader discount chains. Founded in 1982, Ollie’s has developed a recognizable brand centered on bargain hunting and a constantly changing assortment. Its headquarters are in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which reflects its historical roots in the northeastern U.S. and its subsequent national expansion. The company has scaled through a steady store-opening strategy and incremental entry into new geographies. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Ollie’s reported 645 stores across 34 states, and in March 2026 it expanded into its 35th state with a new store opening in Minnesota. ([investors.ollies.com](https://investors.ollies.com/news-releases/news-release-details/ollies-bargain-outlet-holdings-inc-announces-third-quarter-7/?utm_source=openai)) Operationally, the business spans several major product categories, including home goods, décor, consumables, toys, stationery, books, seasonal items, kitchen products, small appliances, and other branded general merchandise. The sourcing model relies on buying excess inventory and closeout merchandise at attractive prices, which supports strong value perception and allows the company to refresh assortments frequently. A key customer engagement asset is Ollie’s Army, its loyalty program, which reached 16.6 million members by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025. That scale provides meaningful traffic support and helps strengthen repeat shopping behavior. ([investors.ollies.com](https://investors.ollies.com/news-releases/news-release-details/ollies-bargain-outlet-holdings-inc-announces-third-quarter-7/?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, Ollie’s sits in a niche between general discount retail and dedicated closeout retail. Its competitive advantages include branded merchandise, a highly price-sensitive value proposition, and a flexible buying process that can capitalize on excess production, liquidations, and supply-chain dislocations. Management has also emphasized improvements in execution, margin resilience, and cost discipline. ([investors.ollies.com](https://investors.ollies.com/news-releases/news-release-details/ollies-bargain-outlet-holdings-inc-announces-third-quarter-7/?utm_source=openai)) Recent developments underscore the company’s momentum. For fiscal 2025, Ollie’s reported 17% net sales growth, 25% growth in earnings per share, and a record 86 store openings during the year. In March 2025, the Board approved a new $300 million share repurchase authorization through March 31, 2029, signaling confidence in cash generation while maintaining a strong growth agenda. For investors, Ollie’s is best viewed as a U.S. consumer-discount retailer with secular tailwinds tied to value-seeking shoppers and disciplined expansion opportunities.
