What a great find in Arvada. This surplus store didn't disappoint. Great selection of items that you would find in your standard surplus store and more. Greeted when entering and overall excellent store with great service. Pricing was also really good. Enough said. read more

This surplus store was a joy to shop through. It's extremely clean and well organized. I was warmly greeted as found as I entered the building. It was a sincere welcome that I really enjoyed. The selection of clothing, jackets, boots, gloves, knives and fishing/camping accessories was first rate. The prices were good and I bought myself new hoodie that is really warm. I enjoyed shopping store and found it much cleaner and better organized than the one I normally shop on south Broadway in Englewood. read more

See all

I used to like this Army Surplus But I went in there. They said they had a deal on some work clothes pretty much they said the deal ends in a week then the boss lady walks over to me and cuts off the deal says it ends on the third which that day it was the third as pretty disappointed that she tried to get more money out of me just don't say there's a deal if they don't keep their word read more

Chris went above and beyond, tracked down an old army dress uniform for my father who passed away, to be buried in. My family and I cannot thank you enough for this. It really means a lot to us. Will definitely be coming back and recommending you to all my friends and family! read more

Whether you're an Army of One or taking a crew camping in Idaho or Alaska, this place might have what you need (needed a new flashlight myself). So blow off Dicks maybe and head here. Feet feel like Stumps? Looked like they had quality hiking boots read more

Good quality, products good prices and location.Practically an Historic Landmark. Great for camping needs and things you didnt know you wanted. Lol read more

The customer service is awesome. It is a great selection of work, clothing and shoes, especially for the value. You cannot compete with anywhere else in the area for the price over the value. read more

This store does not back up their products. We bought two pairs of jeans a few days ago, the same size from the same brand and one pair shrunk to 3 sizes too small and four inches short. We tried to return or exchange them and were rudely treated and denied the return. My veteran husband was rudely denied a simple return and now your store will not be getting our money. When you wonder why Amazon is getting your business, refer to this review. read more

Went to to a of school/office supply stores to find a good, quality backpack for my son. Everywhere else had minimal selection and cheap products. Decided to try the Arvada Surplus and found exactly what I needed and so much more. Their selection is amazing. There is something for everyone here. Absolutely love this store! read more

Arvada Army Navy Surplus - Fox Tactical Backpack - Military Surplus Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

I grew up in Arvada and have been shopping this store for many years. These people know how to run a business, and how to recruit fantastic people to work their store. I have been looking for a hard to find size Levi 501 jean for men. Big R in Conifer is usually very good about having these in stock. I have been unable for 3 weeks to find it there or even at Levi's store at the outlet mall in Castle Rock. One call to my favorite place and the person answering the phone had set 2 pair aside for me. These people and store are a throwback to how customer service used to be conducted. Don't waste time when looking for good outdoor gear or levis. Walk into this store and be treated like customers used to experience. Whoever runs this store knows what they are doing. Thank You!! read more

They've been around since I was a kid. Great customer service! Had a good selection of what I was looking for! I recommend! read more

My husband went to this store to try and find me a pair of bibs for sledding. He bought two pair for me to try with the promise he had 30 days to return the unused items. Today, we we went back to return both pair, as neither worked for me, and the person running the cash register couldn't have been any more rude. They proclaimed that our return would "put them back into the red, shamed us 3 times in the conversation until my husband told her to lay off the guilt trips. We had intended to use the money from the return to purchase a few other items, but after the way we were treated, we left and won't return. Do better. read more

I started shopping here over 15 years ago and they've been my go to for work apparel all this time. I bought something and brought it back for a return a few days later. I was humiliated by an employee about returning an item and treated like I was trying to take advantage of them. I won't be back. I'd rather drive to Broadway than deal with this store or staff ever again. read more

The people are helpful, they have a large selection of products, and the prices are fair. I would definitely go there and purchase other items. read more

This store is not my favorite Surplus store in the area. My friend and I came in and were followed around by their management. We were trying on hats and overall trying to be easy and laid back, but their management was suspicious of us! This was before Covid, so it's not like Covid was into play and we weren't following the "new normal" rules on trying on hats and clothing. We spent less than 15 minutes in because the uneasy feeling during to this visit. read more

Cool place and good selection. I loved going to the Army Surplus store with my dad growing up. If you need outdoor or military gear this is the place to come (although I'm sure you probably already knew that). The people were friendly enough and we enjoyed walking through the isles picking out things I didn't even know I needed. read more

Awesome place! I love going in this store. They always have what I'm looking for. Their friendly & very helpful. Lots of tactical & bug-out equipment. Great shirts too! read more

If you like military surplus and all the stuff found in a military surplus store... this is the store for YOU. They have a little bit of EVERYTHING and are competitively priced. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Personally, I go in to buy 1 item and walk out dropping $100 every time. Lastly, shopping any old town area promotes local economy which is just good business for everyone. read more

Awesome store! Huge selection of different gear. Needed a piece to a belt for my Marine Corps dress blues and this was the only store in the state to carry it! Chris was very helpful and super sweet. Will be back for future shopping! Thanks :) read more

This store is great. While it doesn't have as large of a selection of Army surplus as some of the other stores in Colorado, they stock many other unusual and useful items. One quick side note, if you are a union member, they will give you 10% off when you show them your union card. One of the larger selections of Carharrt clothing in the Denver area, they are a definite go to when you want some sturdy work clothes. They also stock Dickies and some of the other brands of work clothes, so you can outfit yourself for work, yard work, or just leisure. Definitely not the place to go to for high style, but for comfort and leisure, or for those oddball items you can't seem to find anywhere else, this is the place to stop. read more

Get all of your outdoor needs fulfilled here! Of course not everything is going to be top of the line, but they have a really good selection of camping, fishing, backpacking, and other outdoor supplies. You can even purchase your hunting or fishing licenses here. They have a good selection of work boots and hiking shoes. They also have a decent selection of jeans and other clothes to choose from. I love coming here for whatever I need. The staff is very helpful, but they always have what seems like an undercover security guard who tracks your movements throughout the store. If you are not being helped by one of the staff members, this guy follows your every move and it makes you feel really uncomfortable. I assume that they frequently have people come in an steal things to warrant this behavior. Either train the guy to be a little more covert, or install security cameras. With that being said, this place is awesome. Just watch out for the lurker! read more

I was looking for a sturdy duffel bag and my wife reminded me that there was an Army Surplus store in Arvada. While not all that close to me in Thornton, it is closer than driving to Surplus store I used to visit in Englewood. Let me say first that they had exactly what I wanted. Found the duffel bag at a good price. Spent thirty minutes then just looking around. Fair amount of camping equipment. Some fishing supplies. An aisle dedicated to hunters. Found a few good deals. Most prices were competitive. Probably two thirds of the store is dedicated to clothing. I wasn't really into clothes today, so didn't spend much time in that area. I'd like to have seen more surplus type stuff but I'll still go back. The staff was helpful and friendly. It was a fun place to browse. Location in Olde Town Arvada let me spend another hour just wandering around the area. read more

A great local outdoor store located right in the heart of Olde Town Arvada. Lots of real oddities and random things on top of the vast selction of camping gear, boots, and warmwear. Pricing is comparable to big box stores. Maybe a little more. What this place EXCELS in is Carhartt Outerwear. They have the best selection I have seen in Denver. I would not go to this store if you are clautrophobic, the aisles are literally "one person wide" in most places and it can be frustrating squeezing around everyone trying to shop. Great selections of weird old surplus items from military folks across the world: backpacks, tarps, tents, sleeping bags etc Odd note: I actually worked here 16 years ago when I first came to Colorado. Good people all round (ownership wise)... read more

Really like this place. Got a steal on some Yaktrax. Lots of useful stuff in there. A lot of these places don't have much for military clothing (making the name a bit of a misnomer), but this place has a fair amount. Will be back to load up on camping gear. read more

This is a great store! Super friendly staff, store has everything, and it's always cheaper than everyone else. It's also next to my favorite bar, so what's not to love. read more

Not your typical surplus store... in a good way. This store is not only conveniently located, but has a great selection of camping gear, military paraphernalia, and work clothing. Although it is a bit cramped inside, the thing that stands out is that it's clean and organized. No bare shelves here, and the stuff here is all good quality. Take the whole family, even kids can have fun looking at the stuff in the hat section (bearded hats, anyone?). read more

I've been a customer at this location since I was a child, and have never been this disappointed in a store before. Earl, the boot manager was especially rude and uncommunicative. I don't often review, but this was a bad enough experience to warrant it. Your time would be better served going to the broadway location on the other side of town, as I will be doing from now on. read more

25 year Marine Corps veteran. This is the best army navy surplus store I've ever been in. This beats any PX/BX on any base for the price and quality of the items here. Go here and shop for wicked cool stuff! read more

I was heading in to go to the neighboring bakery. I stopped by as they popped up as Carhart seller. I walked in and was memorized by the amount of everything this store had. The staff here were so helpful and friendly. I came in to grab a few things for my husband. Needless to say I left with a lot more and he will be pleasantly surprised. The prices are great and the stock is as well. I am extremely happy to support a local business and get my husband what he needs. I will be coming here for any of his work needs. Y'all are amazing! Thank you! read more

Bad form Arvada Army Navy Surplus, bad form. I don't like the way you take care of your long time customers. Over the weekend I purchased an expensive Camelbak pack. It didn't work for the purpose I bought it for. When I tried to return it I was told I couldn't get my money back because I had filled it with water. I can understand that, after the fact, but at the time as a customer I was looking to find which pack would best suit my needs. I wasn't thinking that if it didn't work I couldn't return it. When I told the clerk this he simply stated it couldn't be returned. I tried to let the clerk know where I was coming from, as a customer, so maybe the next guy wouldn't be so unlucky. The clerk pointed to a sign well behind the counter on the back wall which I had to lean over the counter to see. I told him there was no signage back by the packs to warn customers, he simply stayed his course that I couldn't return it and likened it to "trying to return a can of soda I had already drank half of.". It didn't make any sense to me. I' had been purchasing my odds and ends from here since 1991. I had overlooked what another reviewer described as "one person wide" aisles, the decline of your mens wear to increase womens wear. It's now survivalist gear, womens clothes, a limited selection of camouflage which doesn't really work for hunting (all velcro pockets), The massive selection of Carhartt, shoes and knives. I had been a long time & loyal customer. I had never had a problem with any encounter with the store, but there's too much competition; including online stores, to mess with a shop which doesn't value it's customers. Thanks anyway AANS, it's been a fun ride - but there are other fish in the sea. read more

I was surprised by how much good stuff they have crammed into this store. (yes, it's cramped as hell and I'm pretty sure I accidentally grabbed a strangers ass, but hey, the aisles are a little small) Anyway! I actually found petite size jeans here! Holy crap, for once, I found a pair of jeans that I don't have to saw off the bottoms of. Even better, they had a big selection and it was pretty well organized. They also had some cute tops near the jeans section. By the store name, I thought I would be waltzing down rows of guns, ammo, deer heads and stuff. But it's a great place to go for women's clothing! I also marveled at their large selection of camping items. The price was pretty relative to other places. What I appreciated was how many times different employees checked in to see if I needed help with anything. Everyone was super friendly. The only reason this store loses a star is because it really is soo cramped in there. read more

I love this store! I've been going here since I was a young punk in high school and it was always the best place to get army bags and combat boots. Now that I'm all "grown-up", it has so much more to offer than it did for me back then. They have everything you'd ever need for camping or traveling and a pretty great clothing selection too! Whether you're looking for hard-core outdoor gear, carharts or just a cute lil tank top, they've got it! But the absolute BEST thing about this store is Earl in the shoe department! He is hands down the most helpful and knowledgeable man I've had the pleasure of doing business with. He really knows his stuff and will help to get you into the correct shoe/boot for your situation. We brought our son in to get some boots for a 3 month trek across Iceland and he knew exactly where to steer him and why. We left there knowing that we got the best boot we could get and that his feet would be well taken care of for the duration of the journey. He really cares and knows his s**t and that's why I'll never shop anywhere else when I'm looking for good quality footwear. Thanks Earl, you're the best!! read more

This place rocks... I always find what I'm looking for. I needed a really huge duffel bag. I mean like... so big, that you could fit a small body in it. I had already looked around and had absolutely ZERO luck. Until, I came here, to the Army Navy Surplus store. They had it and only cost me like $30... I think. They also have knives, boots, hats/caps, bandanas... you name it. I don't think anyone can enter this store without finding something that they want to buy. Cart-harts, Levi's etc. etc. all at great prices. read more

Words cannot explain the incredible experience I had at this store. My procrastination lead me here just 24 hours before an intense 13 mile hike. I didn't have appropriate footwear and EARL was able to assist me 100% to find the best hikers for my event. He was so knowledgeable and helpful. I will never go anywhere else for my hiking and camping / outdoor needs! Great prices and fabulous customer service! So impressed! read more

They seem to be cheaper then online, Cabelas or Bass Pro. They may have a smaller store but the gear they have is cheaper and better.

I was very excited to learn there was an army navy surplus store nearby my house. I went in and found they had a lot of cool things, I will never buy anything from them though. I have never experienced such a rude group of people. It seems nobody there knows what they are talking about. The staff should know about the products they are selling not have to make guesses about them. Just to add to the dissatisfaction of the store they have been hiring for months, I applied in store and online and have been completely ignored when I ask about the status of my application. I will never shop here again and I will convince everyone I can to stay away from this place. REI is the place to go. read more

I was very impressed with the Arvada Army Navy Surplus store. I love wearing Carhartt T-shirts but its hard to find them, especially in my size. Not only did this store carry multiple colors in my size, they had up to a couple sizes larger than I needed. My wife referred to this store as a "Man store," and I guess I can see that as there wasn't too many pink things floating around there, but hey we have to shop somewhere. Not only did their selection impress me but their prices are a few dollars cheaper than the big chain stores. As we walked up to pay, the gentleman was ringing us up and my father in-law yelled out that he gets a military discount. Without hesitation, the cashier re-rang our order just so he could honor the discount with no questions asked. I was very impressed with this store all the way around. read more

We go here for knives, camping gear, boots, backpacks, hiking stuff, overalls and a variety of clothes. I dig these kind of surplus stores and can always find something useful. This one is no different -- do check it out. read more

I ordered a tent from them online. Realizing I wanted a 4 person tent I decided to call them to cancel my order. Not only were they helpful and cancelation was easy but they even recommended another tent. Their customer service was great and their prices even beat those on Amazon (for selected goods). I will be using them again for my camping needs. read more

Had a great experience buying a pair of work boots here. It can be hard to find size 14 ' s in a pair I like, but they had them. Earl was very helpful in the selection process, price was great as well. read more
