Nice place, you never know what you'll find! I was lucky to find audio books, a hammer (which I had been looking for to drive tent pegs) and some fishing equipment. I could also play with a very nice cat and have a chat with the store's staff!

I visited Park Rapids in September, 2023. I stumbled on Surplus Depot as I attempted a turn around on Hiway 34. The store is hidden behind the AmericInn. I enjoyed wandering in this place. I bought a couple medical appliances for cheap. I saw vintage tools, sports equipment, hardware, lighting fixtures, furniture, and more. I easily could have spent a few hours here, but needed to get on the road. I will always stop in here when I'm in the area in the future. It's worth a stop.

Similar to a habitat for humanity restore. They have used furniture, the occasional appliance or two, light fixtures, outdoor equipment, tools, bed frames, doors, cabinets, medical equipment, cabinet doors, etc. the items you'll find here will vary from week to week so it might take a few tries to find what you're looking for.

We always stop when we're in town, just to see if there's anything we need. Sometimes we buy alot, sometimes we don't buy anything, but we will stop again next time to look around again. Thanks for always being kind & helpful.
