Surplus store
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A surplus store sells items that are used, or purchased but never used, but no longer needed. The surplus is often military, government or industrial excess. The idea is related to a thrift store, though the latter is primarily consumer leftovers. A surplus store may also sell items that are past their use-by date.
An army surplus store or navy surplus store is any store, usually retail, which sells military surplus — general equipment that was intended for the military but is unable to be used. These stores often sell camping equipment or military clothing (especially jackets and helmets). They are often noted for their low prices.
In the U.K., the Army & Navy Store is a department store owned by the House of Fraser on Victoria Street, London.
