The seller of books, food, toys, sporting goods and flooring said Monday that it is hoping to buy beleaguered toy retailer Toys 'R' Us.
“We see an opportunity to do business that is mutually beneficial to those who may need to offload merchandise, so we are just reminding folks that we are here and have the funds available to purchase this merchandise, as well as the logistical expertise to act quickly to take possession of the goods," said Ollie’s CEO Mark Butler in a press release.
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT) and Target Corp. (NYSE: TGT) are all also hoping to pick up inventory from Toys R Us.
The Pennsylvania-based company has 250 locations in 30 U.S. states.
