Ollie’s Bargain Outlet has three October grand-opening events remaining on its calendar, part of 10 listings across seven U.S. states as the discount retailer maintains its fiscal 2026 goal of opening 75 stores.
The company’s event page lists two dates on Oct. 7, in Geneva, New York, and Hutchinson, Minnesota. Four further openings are listed for Oct. 21, in Cleveland, Ohio; Wilkesboro, North Carolina; Newark, New York; and Mattoon, Illinois. Asheboro, North Carolina, is listed for Oct. 22. The remaining events are scheduled for Baxter, Minnesota, on Oct. 28, and Waterville, Maine, and Dover, New Jersey, on Oct. 29.
Ollie’s fiscal 2026 ends Jan. 30, 2027. In its latest reported quarter, the 13 weeks ended Aug. 1, the company had 686 stores in 36 states after opening 15 locations and closing one because of storm damage.
Net sales increased 9.1% from a year earlier to $741.3 million, while comparable-store sales fell 1.8%. Ollie’s said less favorable weather, pressure on consumers and an elevated promotional environment negatively affected its sales results.
President and CEO Eric van der Valk said in the company’s second-quarter results release, “Consumers continue to seek value.” He added that pressure on shoppers was creating buying opportunities in the closeout market.
Ollie’s 2026 annual filing connects store openings with the company’s past growth in net sales and profitability. It describes a plan to add stores in existing markets and expand into nearby states. The next events on the company’s calendar are scheduled for Oct. 28 and 29.
