FOND DU LAC – As Fond du Lac continues to endure winter, one February bright spot may be a new business on the horizon.
Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is coming to the area. Here’s what we know.
Fond du Lac’s former Big Lots ready for new tenant
About a month after Big Lots closed in Fond du Lac, the building already started getting ready for new tenant Ollie’s Bargain Outlet.
The store was one of several Big Lots across the nation that shut their doors as a result of inflation and other macroeconomic challenges.
Located at 616 W. Johnson St., Ollie’s offers discounted merchandise acquired through closeouts, overstocks, package changes and other means.
When will Ollie’s open in Fond du Lac?
Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is tentatively set to open Wednesday, Feb. 12, with a grand opening, the company announced on its website.
As of Jan. 28, hours have not been posted.
Where are other Ollie’s near Fond du Lac?
Fond du Lac isn’t the only Ollie’s in Wisconsin. The chain opened other stores in Rothschild and Kenosha.
Locations in Sheboygan, Neenah, West Bend and Mt. Pleasant are expected to open the same day as the store in Fond du Lac.
