Thrifting, outletting, liquidating, Facebook Marketplace, flea markets, and other shopping alternatives have seen an upsurge in popularity over the last couple of years. We continue to see these kinds of stores open up all over the state and country and also see consumers choosing these options over traditional storefronts or online shopping.

The thing that entices the consumers to engage with these types of shops is the affordable prices for name-brand items or even just the availability of the items in such close proximity to their homes. Imagine getting a throwback Ralph Lauren hoodie for like $5, that's what these stores provide and Kalamazoo is getting another shop on Westnedge this week.

Big Deal Bin Store is coming to Kalamazoo and its grand opening is this Friday, April 14th. They'll be located at 4427 South Westnedge Avenue, which is in the Plaza with FanFare, City Trends, Office Depot, and Ollie's. They are open every day from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm.

Now, this store is a store that has GIGANTIC bins and they are all labeled with a dollar amount starting at $12. As the days of the week go on they move the items into boxes until they are eventually only $1, meaning everything in this store is $12 or less and you may catch some STEALS in the $1-$5 range.
