“I took my son to visit Lion Surplus and he found a mouse and a computer keyboard and we paid a few dollars for each of them. They had used bikes, chairs, filing cabinets, dressers all for affordable prices! I like that Penn State sells their used items that are still in good shape to the community for decent prices. They also sell bakery items like breads, cookies and cupcakes. We will come back!”

“Very nice store, it was easy to find with lots of parking. The store had full shelves, and was clean. The store was not very busy for a Saturday night, which was nice to shop. All the staff were very nice, but it was my first 5 below that we were not greeted when you entered, it's not a deal breaker, but it's nice that the 5 below stores in general do greet you.”
“This ollie’s had a great selection of things but certain parts were very very messy, and the check out lady was interesting to say the least, my friend was buying a basket and she just flat out was like “yeah pretty in til this breaks in a week” and we just had no comment to that.”

“The staff at this location are very friendly and patient. I had some returns without a receipt and the manager was very helpful and patient with my returns. I love shopping here!! Nice selection of product- great prices!!”
“This Gabe's stores is awesome!! Always laid out well with great products and holiday or seasonal decorations at a great price! I don't have the best luck with shoes at this store, Altoona store seems better for that! However the Carhartt selection at this store is as good as a regular supplier!”
“The cashier was nice, BUT I think they need to get bigger shopping carts and they need those riding carts for people with a disability. It's not fair that people whom have to ride those can't go into FD cause they don't have them.”
“I like it a lot but there needs to be one or a couple more cashiers. And having no self cheek out because of stealing is very unfair, Sometimes there are a lot of people but only one cashier. It's not fair for them either.”
“I love this place, they do have a decent international food selection, they usually have some nice cookies from France that the kids love. Just make sure to check the dates on every food item. For the rest the store the items are usually cheaper but can be on the lower quality so make sure to do you research if you buy something big. They also have an awesome reward program where you can get gift cards.”
