Dow Jones

Aug 27

1241 ET - Ollie's Bargain Market and Five Below continue to grow, buoyed in part by consumer demand for value-oriented retail amid challenging economic times, according to a Placer.ai report. Overall visits and same-store sales grew 18% and 9.4% at Ollie's during 2Q, data from the location-analytics firm shows. During the same period, overall visits and comparable sales rose 14% and 5.9%, respectively, at Five Below. Both chains are also benefiting from aggressive expansion strategies, the report says. Ollie's is scheduled to report 2Q results on Thursday, a day after Five Below reports. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
