Discount retailer selling closeout and surplus brand-name goods — housewares, food, books — at deep discounts.
Discount retailer selling closeout and surplus brand-name goods — housewares, food, books — at deep discounts.
Buys manufacturers' overstock, discontinued lines and the stock of retailers in trouble, then sells it at a steep discount, so the mix on the shelves keeps changing and shoppers come back to see what is new. Growth comes mainly from opening stores rather than online sales, and its Ollie's Army loyalty programme supplies customer data.
Moat: narrow (scale, process know-how). Opportunistic buying network sources closeout inventory cheaply; hard to replicate consistently.
