Always great to get a new store in town!! Ocean State Job Lot has tons of stuff and amazing prices! The employees are super friendly, and the place is nice and clean. I recommend checking out this new store before you look elsewhere, as they have food, household supplies, and more for really cheap prices!!

Cool place! Lots of unique food treats from different countries. Hard candies from Germany, cookies from France and Italy. There are many other items here, and this place is huge!

This place is such a cool find! The prices are great and they offer all sorts of quirky promotions where you receive a gift card for a later purchase when you make some qualifying purchase. The selection is really impressive-- decor, seasonal and holiday, lawn and garden, household products, shelf stable food items, stationary and office supplies, kitchen items, toiletries, pet care-- you name it!

I love this place. I can find a lot of what we need for our family at great prices plus some good deals on different groceries and home goods. They often have great promotions as well. Friendly helpful staff.

Nice variety of all kinds of merchandise. Prices are decent. Not all pricing is cheaper than places like Walmart or Amazon.

Not impressed. Lots of things to look at though. Prices were not great nor terrible.

Very nice store. They have quite a variety of products. If I were to compare it to another store, I'd say it's along the lines of Big Lots but without the large furniture section (no couches and beds etc) that Big Lots has. I'd recommend checking it out. Do note, they close at 7 pm daily.

Do you like higher prices? The same vibe as Ollie's or Big Lots but somehow worse and more chaotic? You'll love shopping at Ocean State Job Lot! This place markets itself as some kind of discount superstore when it's a more expensive than it's competition (Big Lots, Ollies, Gabes etc.). If you squint and scour the store you can find a few good deals. But I wouldn't recommend this place for frequent shopping. It's pretty clear that Ocean State is here to take advantage of the people in the apartment complexes nearby who can't make a trip to one of the other ( cheaper ) stores. All the employees were super nice that I interacted with and deserve a raise. A funnier detail is that most of the decor is ocean themed which is pretty nonexistent and unusable in a landlocked Appalachian state. Walking around the store it felt more like I was shopping in Florida than small town Pennsylvania. Definitely won't be going out of my way to come back. I definitely wouldn't believe all the rave reviews this place has either.

This is my new favorite store! I've been there 2 weeks in a row. I know the name is off-putting. If not for word of mouth, I wouldn't have known what it was. They have so many nice things at really good prices. My coworker dubbed it OLLIES ON STEROIDS.

Products are sub-par. Don’t give them your email. I watch the cashier select “yes” to an opt in/opt out question on the screen, without asking me if I wanted to get emails.

Low prices, but not always high quality. It's like Ollie's. I do like that there are a LOT of things. I think it's better than Walmart!
