Ollie’s & Mohr Partners: Delivering Value and Enhanced Lease Administration

Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Inc. (OBO) is the largest U.S. retailer of closeout merchandise and excess inventory, offering discounted products across food, technology, toys, flooring, housewares, and more.

In 2023, Ollie’s lease administration operations were disrupted when its lease administrator departed, leaving over 5,000 emails unattended. This backlog impacted lease reconciliations, legal documentation, and vendor communications creating risks of delayed reporting, incomplete records, and compliance gaps.

To restore order and strengthen operations, Ollie’s engaged Mohr Partners. Our team: 

  • Email Processing: Cleared more than 2,000 backlogged emails to update lease records and manage invoices.
  • Reconciliation Reviews: Conducted detailed reconciliation checks for 2020–2022 and 2024 onward, identifying and correcting discrepancies.
  • Lease Re-abstraction: Re-abstracted leases for 650+ stores, capturing missing clauses, renewals, amendments, and compliance details.
  • Invoice & Statement Review: Verified landlord invoices and statements, addressed discrepancies, and worked with landlords to waive incorrect late fees.

Mohr Partners stabilized Ollie’s lease administration portfolio and delivered measurable value: 
 

  • Provided accurate, up-to-date lease records across hundreds of locations.
  • Supported the acquisition of 40 Big Lots leases and 10 99 Cents leases in 2024.
  • Delivered $33,000 in reconciliation savings in 2025.
  • Enabled Ollie’s to streamline financial reporting, strengthen compliance, and make faster, more confident portfolio decisions.
