I think their problem is the furniture. It doesn't sell that much, but takes up a lot of floor space. Ollie's has more of the smaller stuff, but our local one is in an out of the way old shopping area that doesn't have the big stores to draw in traffic, such as the former Walmart and Food Lion. Both of those are still empty many years later, except that Harbor Freight is using part of the old Walmart. There's also a Dollar Tree and the UPS store.
