Nearly one year after its debut, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is opening a second Houston area location Wednesday, September 9th. This store located at 18182 Gulf Fwy, Friendswood, TX 77546, has been a long time coming and was part of the reason Houston lost its only Dick’s Warehouse store. As of now, Ollie’s third and only other publically planned Houston store is on the Westside at 1747 Fry Road Katy, TX 77449.
Even with Hurricane Nicholas last year, the Jones Rd. & FM 1960 Ollie’s opening was quite the draw. With the Clear Lake area being far enough away from the NW suburbs, I expect pretty similar excitement in that area for the new Ollie’s. Granted, I don’t think the excitement will match the excitement in the area when the new HEB opened around the start of 2022. HEB even had spotlights for that.
