I have never heard of the store named "Ollie's Bargain Outlet" which is headquartered in Harrisburg Pennsylvania before I read the story on UPI news.
Ollie's Bargain Outlet which in named after the mascot of the discount store who has been in business for 40 years celebrated their latest anniversary on Wednesday of last week unveiled a 16 foot and, 6.73 inch bobblehead figure.
Besides the 40th anniversary of the discount store unveiling of the mascot, the officials from the Guinness World Records have given the bobblehead the record for being the largest beating the previous record held by Florida based Applied Underwriters which was 15 feet and 4.75 inches tall which was set in 2016.
The building of the bobblehead of Ollie's took about a period of four months.

That’s cute! We have a few Ollie’s around here. They’re basically Big Lots that aren’t quite as expensive as Big Lots.

@TheHorse I guess Big Lots is a regional chain. There is an Ollie's Retail store located 50 miles north of Lake Charles in the small town of DeRidder.

We don't have one of those here. We used to have a restaurant here(can't remember the name) and it had a big boy outside.

@Deepizzaguy .........I think it may have been a Big Boy here too. But, it was years ago now.

@Deepizzaguy Our Dollar Tree is now a Dollar plus 25 Cents Tree, I think.

@TheHorse I did read stories on this site that Dollar Tree did change their name to Dollar 25 cents due to inflation.

I think Ollie's a regional market since I have not seen one in Louisiana. There is one Ollie's Retail Shop in DeRidder Louisiana which is about 50 miles north of Lake Charles.

That is a good idea since their prices are low and useful for their customers.

We have an Ollie's about 20-30 minutes from us. I think the bobblehead is cool!

I found out that there is an Ollie's Retail Store about 50 miles north of Lake Charles in DeRidder Louisiana. The bobblehead doll is the coolest since there is a huge statue of a make wearing a crown and a mustache outside of an auto insurance store in Metairie Louisiana.,
