Awesome place with great stuff. The guy was super nice. Very funny, polite, and helpful. He recommended the highest quality model of the type of item I was looking for, not the most expensive one, and the prices for all of them were extremely reasonable regardless. I'm not sure who these other people leaving negative reviews were dealing with, but it couldn't have been the older gentleman I encountered. Will definitely be back and will recommend it to others.

Army-navy surplus stores like Jim's are few and far betweeen. You never know what you'll find in all the piles of stuff. I've bought stuff from him for decades and I will as long as the store exists. As an added bonus, Jim adds much character to the shopping experience. Highly recommended!

A lot of quality gear, much more than expected. The store front dosen't due it justice. The owner was very nice and helpful.

Came up here ready to spend money, sign on the door says open from 10am to 5pm. We sat up here for close an hour. Nobody picked up the phone. I like to support small business, but this was a waste of time and a waste of gas. I’ll order online

Went to this store ages ago while attending Penn State. They were always nice to me. Bought an OD Army jacket and liner there, which I still have. It was a fun place to visit as a teenager...with lots of cool things. Thank you Jim and John!

Cheap apparel and very rowdy service. My dad got himself a bomber jacket and realized there was a big hole in the right pocket 30 minutes after the purchase. When he tried to return it, the shopkeeper had a very rude demeanor. I’m extremely disappointed and angry that they were rude to my dad for no reason.

0 Stars. Jim is the rudest person you will ever meet. I bought a t-shirt there once. He came over and said “Good Choice! Bet the bi*ches will love that!” He called my mother some names that would make a construction worker blush. My advice, DO NOT GO IN THERE!

The gentleman that runs the place is awesome! Not only very knowledgeable, but very friendly with a great sense of humor! The store itself has quite the selection, always stocked, and usually has deals and sales going on. Check it out!

The self proclaimed owner, who I am guessing is Jim, was extremely rude and short with me. I asked for a particular item, alice pack straps, in his "used goods" surplus store and he immediately demeaned me by saying I didn't know what they were or why I would need them (U.S. Army vet who has used an alice pack for over 10 years and wanted extra straps for another pack). He proceeded to pull them out of a box of dozens of ratty alice pack straps and hands me one. As I am asking how much they are he pulls them out of my hands and starts putting them away. He high balled the price at double what they were worth, so I told him they were a little higher than I'd like to pay so he kicked me out of the store. I may have been in the store for a total of 45 seconds before he told me to leave. I asked why he was being so rude, since he owns a surplus store full of used items, I am sure I am not the first person to attempt to negotiate a price. He started using profanities and walked me out of the store. I let him know that he should learn to deal with customers in an appropriate manor, I was polite and merely asking about the price of the item. He was rude and posturing for me to leave as soon as I stepped in the door. I am not sure what about my appearance/demeanor made him feel threatened, but he obviously did not want my business. The store was empty when I walked in, and now I know why I was the only "customer." DO NOT RECOMMEND SHOPPING IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT!

While the selection of surplus and new commercial products is pretty good, the prices are on the high side for just about everything. A bit too many new goods vs genuine surplus for my taste but there were some cool things I saw. If you don't mind paying more than typical online retail this is a fine place to shop.
