Eager customers line up for Ollie s Bargain Outlet opening
And, frankly, he wasn t exactly sure why. I think they re giving away a TV, so I just came out, Weir said as he stood second in line for the store s 9 a.m. opening.
Only minutes after Ken Missig, Ollie s regional director of stores, opened the front doors to admit customers, Weir emerged carrying a large television box. The 50-inch smart TV wasn t a giveaway, but a hot deal at $199.

Was Weir glad he d come? Definitely, he said.
He wasn t alone in arriving early for Ollie s opening at 4601 National Road E. in the Gateway Shopping Plaza. About 80 people were lined up past neighboring Party City to the vacant former Trinity Christian Gifts & Books storefront, and others remained in their cars with the temperature in the upper 20s.
