“Shopping at Ollies' is fun! Their motto "Good stuff cheap" is right on. I am an avid reader and I have gotten a lot of good books for great prices. Going to Ollies' is an adventure! You never know what you'll find. Even their cheesey ads are fun.
I just wish there was one in Cortland! Now there is....yay!!”
“Staff are extremely friendly, and always recognize you and welcome you back. There are lots of tabletop games to buy, as well as Pokemon, Magic, Lorcana, etc. They have an online catalog of almost all their cards, and you can place an order for pickup in-store or online, which they will notify you via text once complete. Prices are also fair. The only thing that keeps me from rating them 5 stars is that their singles collection on display is pretty small, with it sometimes being hard to view the cards. They really only display their most expensive cards, which are also the only ones with prices listed, requiring you to search their database for the prices of any un-priced cards you may be interested in on display. A great store nonetheless!”
“The owner is very nice and talkative with customers...or he let's you shop without talking. An amazing collection of old comics and modern day. He has random collectibles sprinkled throughout and some statues and prices in the entire store I am very happy with. This is what a comic shop should be and I highly recommend it. Side note: He has so much stuff that aisles are small so keep that in mind if you have mobility issues.”

They had tables set up for kids to make a small toy and take it with them for free, so my son got a mini dreams toy for free. A staff member, I wish I had got his name, was very friendly explaining the camera that brings sets to life on the screen. The same staff member was very friendly when I cashed out and explained the rewards system. Great experience!”
“Great guy. Awesome selection of darts and accessories. Great sense of humor. Just be direct to him on what youre looking for and he wont waste your time. Would recommend.”

9090 Destiny USA Dr Space F211, Syracuse“After ordering a teddy bear with a voice recorded message online I was left more than disappointed. The bear itself was good but the recording was so far less than par, it was simply unacceptable. I called the syracuse ny store and the lady who I talked to was more than happy to help! She made sure that I still had the recording and told us to bring the bear into the store and they would make it the best they could. I explained this bear was for a little girl under 1 who just lost her daddy and the voice that was to be recorded was his. We brought the bear and the message to the store and the employee who helped was great! She listened to the recording first put in the bear and agreed it was totally unacceptable, she then took the recorded message and made 2 recordings even went into a quiet hallway to get the best recording. After she was done his voice is clear and no longer sounding like an alien. Thank you to the employees in syrscuse NY for making a precious lifelong memory for a special little girl!”
“Great place to go for toys at Christmas time. Amazing close out deals on foods and spices, along with great Keurig k cup prices. There are so many items to choose from, and they differ each time you go. So if you see it and you want it, get it. Or when you go back for it, you'll be kicking yourself saying you should have bought it when you saw it. Constantly new items!!!! Good prices”
“The employees were absolutely polite and wonderful, very helpful answering my questions…. I was disappointed that the costume portion of the store was not yet full.,,,, But everything was clean, and there was a large variety of things to look at and purchase”
“Friendly and knowledgable staff the time I went. Store was a little cluttered and some product looked a little dinged up which isnt good for collectibles they sell”
“There's a big selection and we can anyways find something we want there, but it's much more expensive than you can buy online. The cashiers never pressure us into buying anything but they also are quite indifferent when purchasing an expensive game and you would think fellow nerds would be saying something about the game being purchased or something. They have books based on games, cookbooks based on movies, games for kids and adults, and puzzles among other things.”
“I’m not usually one to leave reviews but I wanted to highlight Zy, Caleb, and Kira from Party City in Cicero. They provided OUTSTANDING customer service to me this past thursday when something had gone wrong with our order. They were attentive, accommodating, professional, and friendly. It’s never the store that people remember, it’s the customer service. And they definitely deserve recognition for their kindness and help. Thanks guys if you ever see this— you were great!”
“Favorite childhood place to go shop as a kid as well as adults. They do piercings to the ears only and they wear gloves when doing so. Prices range depending on the location of the piercings. Took my daughter there to get her wars pierced and the service was very welcoming.”

“Funny story. Called them and asked if they had a game i saw there a few days ago. They said no before i even finished my sentence. I call again and specify the game, lil dude on the phone click clacks on his keyboard for two seconds and goes, "yuuh no". SO I GO TO THE STORE AND GUESS WHAT. They had the damn game. ??? LIKE HOW YOU GONNA BE THAT LAZY YOU CANT WALK 15 FEET TO CHECK SMTH FOR A CUSTOMER. Other then that love the store! Really cool selection but who ever was on that phone. I'm mad at you. ?”
“Nice store! Great selection of books except technology department. It is representative of this generation of TikTok and smartphone users. Few want to learn this, but the store was busy. People are reading paper books! Woo hoo. So do I. Thank you for your existence.”
