Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings said Senior Vice President and General Merchandise Manager Kevin McLain will retire effective May 1, 2026, and Shane Thornton will take over that role on the same date. Thornton has been in the position since a March 2025 promotion and has been with the company since 2010, so the change is an internal succession under a plan the company had already put in place.
