The Ollie's Bargain Outlet distribution center had its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting on Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2024, in Princeton. Gathered at the ceremony were (from left) Brian McNabb, Ollie's senior vice president, and Princeton Mayor Ray Mabry (holding the scissors). The new distribution center is 615,000 square foot, which is about the equivalent of 11 football fields. It will serve 150 stores in the Midwest. The cost of the project is $68 million.
