This will be fun - anyone have mil surp night vision gear to bring? We really should source some for you all to check out 😎

Tonight’s the night! Lights out! Join us from 7-9pm for our first ever After Hours Night Shoot! This will happen on the first Friday of every month. Bring your night vision, bring your weapon light, or buy a new one to try out. Don’t have a light? We have plenty to try out, just ask one of our folks behind the counter.
Can’t wait to see you…or not see you, as the case may be!

Highly recommend! The included chipotle tortillas and cheese sauce made the beef and bean entree into a couple of tasty burritos, and the blueberry/cherry cobbler was a delicious dessert! All MRE’s are 25% off right now, great time to stock up!

Heads up! We will be closed this Saturday and Sunday (July 25th and 26th) to take care of some personal matters and enjoy family time. We will be back to our normal hours on Tuesday, as usual. Thank you for your understanding!

We just had a family come in to SCS who had never been here before, but they happen to be in town and looked for an army surplus store. The first thing the guy said when he walked through the door was “ they’re trying to shut you down out there.” No kidding man!
We are open and you can get here during road construction. Please drive around the barriers and come in to shop our great selection of unique and useful surplus and outdoor gear!

Construction season is more than just an inconvenience - it can have a big impact on local businesses.

One Cloquet business says "Road Closed to Thru Traffic" signs have led many people to believe they can't get there, even though they're still open and accessible to customers. They're hoping to clear up the confusion and remind everyone how much local support means during construction season.

Have you ever skipped a business because of road construction?
