Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is further expanding its Wisconsin footprint with a location in Grafton at 1825 Wisconsin Ave., according to village documents.
The 39,000-square-foot building was formerly occupied by a Big Lots store, consistent with Ollie’s four other Wisconsin locations, which have similarly moved into former Big Lots spaces after the company filed for bankruptcy in 2024. Ollie’s will occupy 30,000 square feet of space inside the building and the remining 9,000 will remain vacant for a future tenant, according to village documents.
Grafton’s Plan Commission approved the permitting for Ollie’s to occupy the space. The store is slated to open in fall of this year. Ollie’s will hire 10 people for the Grafton location which will be open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday to Saturday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
With the addition of its Grafton location, Ollie’s will operate eight Wisconsin locations in Mount Pleasant, West Bend, Sheboygan, Fond Du Lac, Kenosha, Rothschild, Grafton and Neenah, according to its website.
