I had an awesome time at this place. Their selection of uniforms and gear are impeccable. The people I talked to there are pretty cool as well. The smell of the place is glory and paradise. I love their availability for ALICE pouches and MOLLE as well. Some of the vests already have plates in them and I think that's pretty dope. One item that stood out to me was the Booty Camp shorts. I think that's pretty glorious, but I didn't get to buy one at that time. Overall, I love this place and the people and I would go again.

The owner and workers are always so very nice. It is a small building that is PACKED with so much. If you're a camper, go there. A service person, go there. Like great stuff, go there.

If army surplus, EDC, camping, prepping is your thing this is a must see in the area, great selection of everything, prices are ok not great, owners and staff are very helpful, excellent selection of clothes, footwear, jackets, socks, backpacks, camping supplies, etc. I go there often just to look around and end up buying something every time.

Great store and great owners! As an officer who has to buy my own stuff, I saved so much money here. It's a fun treasure hunt. They sell great quality new and used uniforms, pins, gear, bags, and more. If you're in the military or just a fanatic, you've got to come here!

Trader John’s is a family owned Military surplus store. The staff is always welcoming and ready to talk about life and give recommendations on gear.

They treat vets and civilians with respect. I buy workout gear from them for fraction of the price. Warm weather gloves are $10 dollars in comparison charging $40 .

The store is cluttered there is no doubt about that but that makes their selection helpful.

Though I give 5 stars often this truly is a 5 star service store. Price, people, gear.

Army Strong.

Like most surplus stores, this place has the opportunity to gouge their prices and take advantage of their customers-BUT NOT THESE GUYS!! Not only are they extremely friendly but, they are very knowledgeable.
I anticipated this place having very little as far as selection and let me say I couldn't have been more wrong! Don't judge a book by its cover! Huge selection! I'm a bigger guy and guess what? Even my size was available and, not just with a limited amount of clothes, either. I will definitely be back, if not for anything else but, the outstanding customer service.
Finally, their prices where cheaper than anywhere else that I researched. They either were very competitive price wise or much lower than anywhere else. Don't waste your time with the other places. It's almost an hour drive for me and I will still drive there beyond anywhere else.

Not many of this type of store around anymore. I suspect this one survived because it was a cut above the rest. Large selection of military/tactical gear. They have lots of coats, boots, stuff that would be good for camping, military patches. They have all sorts of miscellaneous military-related paraphernalia, interesting place to visit and shop

This place is amazing! A great selection, is much bigger than you’d think, and the service was amazing. I haven’t had customer service that was this good in a long time. This is definitely the go to surplus store to me!
