WORCESTER – The long-anticipated opening of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet in Worcester is finally here.

As of Wednesday afternoon, hundreds of people had already made their way into the Grafton St. retail store to get discounts on name-brand items.

Ollie’s is the first of its chain to open in Massachusetts and is branded as Ollie’s Bargain Outlet @ Building #19. 

The grand opening featured an appearance and autograph session with NASCAR Cup Driver Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., an inflatable “Ollie” head outside the store and the Ollie’s mascot making the rounds to take photos with customers. 

Doors opened on Wednesday at 9 AM.

With more than 330 stores in 23 states across the country, Ollie’s offers discounts on items from housewares, food, clothing, and toys to sporting goods, pet supplies and holiday items —  everything a customer is looking for – with up to 70% off on closeout and excess inventory on brand-name merchandise.

Ollie’s Bargain Outlet was founded in 1982 by Morton Bernstein. The first store was opened in Mechanicsburg, PA, just outside Harrisburg.
