I love deal stores, especially ones that handle mostly Amazon/retail returns since you can usually find some near-new items for a great price. That said, the key to stores like this are selection, visibility, and price, and this place is only okay in all three regards.
Came here at the recommendation of another Yelper who also enjoys deals. The fact that I came straight here after a visit to somewhat-close-by Discount Depot provides a good point of comparison: while this place has a fair number of bins, you can search through everything thoroughly in about 20 minutes due to its size.
While prices are fairly standard for this kind of store, they certainly did not have much on the $10 day (Fri/Sat) that merited spending $10 on. Indeed, most of the boxes here are wrapped up so tight with no labels whatsoever that you can't really be sure what you're getting at all. A gentleman informed me that you could take boxes up front to be checked, though how manageable of an approach is that when each bin has a hundred mystery boxes? A better approach would be for them to open them, write on the side what it is, and put it in the bins, though maybe that's just not worth it to them.
All things considered, while I might swing by again if I happened to be in the area (especially on one of their cheaper days), it's not worth going out of your way for. If you want a much better volume of options (most of which you can actually see what you're getting), head down the road for Discount Depot.
Overall: 3.0 stars

Pros:
- Lots of parking.
- Prices are great after a few days, though on the $10 days not so much.
- Store interior is clean and inviting.
Cons:
- Boxes are wrapped up so tight you won't know what half of the items there are.
- Not as much selection as other stores of this nature.
- This area has some security risks, so aim to come during daylight hours if possible. read more
