Ocean State Job Lot, a discount retail chain with 176 stores across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, announced it will open a new store at 4215 Black Horse Pike, Unit 31, in Mays Landing, New Jersey, this fall. The 34,120 square-foot location, formerly occupied by Big Lots, will be the brand’s 11th store in the state and its second in Atlantic County.
Located in the Hamilton Commons shopping center, the store is the company’s 18th opening in a former Big Lots location in 2025 and continues OSJL’s repurposing of former retail sites. The company has also acquired several former Christmas Tree Shops properties across the Northeast.
“Opening our new Mays Landing store is an exciting opportunity for us to bring our unique value-driven shopping experience to residents and visitors alike,” said Mark O’Connor, Director of Real Estate, Ocean State Job Lot. “With the recent closings of Christmas Tree Shops and Big Lots, we know there are a lot of people in the area looking for great deals, and we hope they’ll come check us out. We’re proud to invest in Atlantic County and, with our new Mays Landing store complementing our recently opened Somers Point location, we look forward to having an even bigger presence in the community.”
OSJL will hire for up to 60 positions, including store leadership, supervisory, full-time, part-time, and seasonal associates. The company offers competitive pay and benefits packages, including flexible hours; medical, vision and dental insurance (if eligible); profit participation; service awards; paid time off; 401(k); 30% store discount and more. OSJL will begin accepting applications for all positions shortly at: https://about.oceanstatejoblot.com/careers/careers-new-stores
