If you like coming in for craft work (men's crafts, tools, metals and nuts, and some decor for guys and gals), this is a place you might want to add to your stops if passing by. It's a surplus outlet store and has some interesting odds and ends.

Great place to find reupholstery fabric. Great selection of craft supplies and accessories. Bonus that hubby can peruse the hardware section while I look at other goodies.

It was worth the stop and be prepared to kill an hour or two in there absorbing everything. While there was many offerings, surplus doesn't mean cheap and some things were priced comparable to a normal spot.

It's more than just hardware, they have material, yarn and gardening supplies as well. I haven't even made it to the tool section yet, in looking forward to it the next time I go!

If you need odds and ends that you can't find in hardware, discount, or other establishments, check out Surplus City. They have military surplus for camping. Loads of paint and supplies. T-shirts at bargain basement prices--plain for you to design as you wish. Need zip ties in different colors for banding/identification of your poultry? They have it, and ultraviolet ones for zip tying metal enclosures (necessary on the farmstead). Welding rods? Yep. Fabric, outdoor rugs, household goods, bedding, crafts. Envelopes and paper for annual holiday letters. Silk and other artificial flowers and greens, along with holiday decor.

Oh yes! Prices are very good. Plan to spend time exploring. Oh, and when you get to the cash register, expect to look some more at all kinds of items on shelves around the register corral.

If you need something there's a real good chance this place has it. I could wonder around in that store for hours

Everything here is extremely fair priced. They're have everything from fabric, nails, toilet replacement parts, paint, chains, shirts, you name it. I normally go here for fabric or hardware such as chains and metal rings to make jewelry. I always leave with a big bag and a small bill. Would definitely love to see this place thriving for years to come.

Cool store. But they don't honor their sales, which is a shame. Otherwise, lots of nice stuff to get from there.

I have been to this place three times, as I work on cell towers and I am near there on occasion. You never know what you will find there, although they have some constant items, like automotive exhaust parts, paints, automotive lighting.and a side for crafts and notions, too. Prices are excellent, and the staff is very helpful. I told a riding buddy about it, and we rode up from down near Baltimore to check it out. Said buddy was impressed.

Ths store has just about everything you'd ever need or want. The only problem is finding it. The store people are very helpful, but they also don't know were everything is YET. The one man told me.

Love this store. Friendly stable staff. Great low priced fabric. Store great for Hubby's tools and for wife's needs for house and crafts. They have lots of low price items.
