Park Avenue Thrift recently announced that it will be bringing back its Outdoor Outlet event for the third straight year.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 21 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Additionally, the event will take place outside at 150 W. Park Avenue, just west of Park Avenue Thrift Store.
“The Outdoor Outlet was an event we started in 2022. It was a lot of fun and our thrifters loved it, so we knew it was something we wanted to continue to do each year in September,” said Park Avenue Thrift executive director Stela Jantzen. “The idea was sparked while at a thrift conference we attended and seeing how much people loved bin shopping. This was our interpretation of how we can bring that to our community.”
Outdoor Outlet is a sale where you can bring your own plastic grocery bag and fill it up with any items available for purchase. The items for sale will include things such as clothing, housewares, media, linens, craft items, jewelry, electronics, hardware and toys.
Any items you can fit in one grocery bag will only cost $2. Grocery bags will be on hand at the event for anyone unable to find one of their own. There is no limit to the amount of grocery bags you can fill.
Both cash and card will be accepted, but cash is preferred. All items are first come, first serve, no holds and all sales are final. Additionally, Park Avenue Thrift asks that no one take filled Outdoor Outlet bags inside the store.
El Monchis SNACK’Z and Kona Ice will both be set up at the event.
“The Park Avenue crew always looks forward to this event, and loves the challenge of setting up and keeping the items stocked for shoppers. It’s so great to see the excitement of people sharing their finds with each other,” said Park Avenue Thrift operations manager Malvin Arter. “Park Avenue employees will be on hand throughout the event to help answer any questions. Just look for the Park Avenue Crew t-shirt!”
