Ollie’s Bargain Outlet will build a 962,000-square-foot distribution center in Commerce, Ga., to help with its expansion in the Southeast, Gov. Nathan Deal announced last month.
The retailer operates 154 stores east of the Mississippi River that specialize in closeout, excess inventory and salvage merchandise. It plans to invest $14.5 million in the facility during the next five years, creating 175 new jobs.
Ollie’s has stores in South Carolina and Tennessee and plans to expand into Alabama, Georgia, Florida and further into Tennessee.
The new DC will be located in an industrial park at the intersection of Interstate 85 and Highway 98.
