Ocean State Job Lot Will Soon Occupy Former Staples Location at Bedford Shopping Center

By Julie McCay Turner

OSJL400x400 logoOcean State Job Lot will open its newest store in the vacated Staples space in the Bedford Shopping Center by late August or early September. Speaking from the home office, David Sarlitto confirmed the move in a telephone interview on Monday. “There’s a lot involved with paperwork and inspections, but it’s a good space, he said.” The store will be stocked with back-to-school and fall merchandise when the doors open.

According to Ocean State Job Lot’s website, the company puts a clever spin on their merchandise selection. “Although we are known as a closeout company, we prefer to think of ourselves as opportunistic merchants,” the site notes, and it goes on to call the stores the Home of Adventure Shopping.

Sarlitto noted that there are still employment opportunities in the Bedford store.  Monster.com lists the following positions available for the Bedford store: Area Supervisor, Department Head, Front End Supervisor, Maintenance Associate, Operations Supervisor, Receiver, Sales Associate, and Visual Merchandiser.

The first Ocean State Job Lot store opened in North Kingstown, RI, in 1977, and the company now boasts 119 stores located throughout the Northeast, from New York and New Jersey to Maine. Bedford will become the company’s 47th store in Massachusetts.
