Hi everyone. There is a store opening in our area on May 18th. It is called Ollie's Bargain Outlet and they are supposed to have a selection of just about everything including Wilton items. Has anyone out there ever heard of this place? Thanks

We have them here in Pennsylvania but I've never seen any Wilton items there. It's an interesting store none the less...lots of random stuff kind of strewn around, so you really have to dig! I've bought books and kitchen items there, but not much else. I usually don't have the patience to go through everything to make sure it's not damaged or a really bad "second".

We have an Ollies here too, to be honest the only Wilton things I've ever seen were a set of discontinued cookie cutters and some random packages of cupcake cups. That's not to say your store won't have any...every time I go to Ollies they have different things, and the one where my Mom lives has different stuff from ours all the time too.

I'd just say happy hunting! thumbs_up.gif

Haven't heard of Ollie's; there's not one in my area of NC. However, have you ever heard of Fred's? There's a store in Asheboro that's just opened recently. Don't exactly know what they carry; I'll have to check it out next time I'm in A'boro.

There are 2 Ollie's in my general travels but I've never found a selection of wilton. Think of Ollie's as a flea market with a store front. It really is just a composite of close-outs, bargain buys, etc. I have found some good stuff there before (great for finding contact paper or wrap for boards) but I don't go there intentionally hoping to find something.

I live in an area where there are several Ollie's stores. I have never seen Wilton items there. Join Ollie's Army, to get discounts in the mail. They have a nice selection of out-of-print cookbooks there, so take your checkbook.
