I think that was the Building 19 commercial, I can’t remember his name… wait, I think it was Jerry

From Wikipedia:

The “closeout stores” had been known throughout New England for selling an eclectic assortment of items at drastically discounted prices, as well as self-effacing advertising that made fun of the founder, Jerry Ellis. Many of the items were factory irregulars, discontinued models, post-expiration-date, damaged, or less than perfect in some other way, but some new merchandise was offered as well. The stores capitalized on the quick cash flow needs of other businesses, obtaining most of their merchandise from fire sales, overstocks, customs seizures, liquidations, and bankruptcy courts.

I don’t think that is the business I’m looking for. The commercials are very similar, low budget and local. The store also seems very similar but not the right one. The staple of the commercial was at the end when the daughter would exclaim “oh no here comes some more”
