Grossman’s Bargain Outlets

Grossman's Bargain Outlets is a regional retailer offering discounted building materials and home improvement products to both homeowners and contractors throughout the Northeastern United States. The company’s origins date back to 1900, when the original Grossman's chain was founded in Massachusetts. Over the decades, Grossman’s became a recognized name in the building materials industry. The Bargain Outlets concept took shape in the late 1990s, shifting the focus toward a warehouse-style retail model that emphasizes deep discounts on overstock, closeout, and surplus merchandise.

Today, Grossman's Bargain Outlets operates 30 company-owned stores as of November 2025, with locations across New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. The brand is owned by Building Materials Outlet, Inc., which acquired the business in the early 2000s. In recent years, the company has maintained a steady pace of expansion, targeting suburban and secondary urban markets where housing turnover and renovation activity remain strong. Notable recent growth includes new store openings in Connecticut and upstate New York, reflecting a careful approach to entering markets with sustained demand for affordable home improvement solutions.

Grossman's Bargain Outlets is known for its straightforward, no-frills shopping experience and large-format stores. Its product mix covers essentials such as flooring, cabinetry, doors, windows, and seasonal items, catering to both do-it-yourself homeowners and small contractors. The company favors value-oriented shopping centers and freestanding sites, positioning itself as a flexible and reliable anchor or co-tenant in retail corridors with active housing markets. Over the past five years, Grossman’s has continued to evolve by consolidating underperforming locations and selectively expanding its presence, reinforcing its reputation as a stable and credible operator in the region’s retail landscape. All stores remain company-owned, with no franchise opportunities offered.
