Be A Tourist In Your Own Town

First things first: Just wanted to remind you all that we will be open our regular hours tomorrow (May 24, 7:30am-3:30pm) and Tuesday (May 28, 7:30am-5:30pm), even though we will be closed for Memorial Day on Monday.

Then the following Saturday, June 1 from 10am-5pm, is Greater Lansing's annual Be A Tourist In Your Own Town! We're one of over 60 mid-Michigan businesses, attractions, and local activities gearing up for the fun, and CATA will be shuttling thousands of people around the area. We're the first stop on the East Lansing leg of the tour, and we're a Stamp Location for your BATYOT Passports.

Surplus Store & Recycling Center facility tours will be on the hour all day, Scrap Metal Sparty will be in front of the giant Block S on our building for photos, and we're sorting through a major influx of clothing and furniture to be ready by that weekend, to go along with all the unique, unusual, and unexplainable items we have every day. We're also making extra room in our Sold Area; you don't have to worry about rushing back or carrying everything with you that day, you have one week to pick up your items (keep your receipt!). And, as always, we have plenty of Dairy Store ice cream to help you beat the heat!

From MSU to you

As you know, almost all of the items we sell come directly from campus. Departments, events, teams, and researchers have provided us with more than our fair share of used and unusual finds. Some of the things we sell take this one step further, as they are produced right here at MSU. Compost from the Student Organic Farm, ice cream from the Dairy Store, honey from Entomology bees, and now maple syrup from the Kellogg Experimental Forest are available for sale during all open hours (including the 12pm-3:30pm Viewing Hours on Mon, Wed and Thu). Vehicles and batteries are also available during all open hours, though they're not nearly as tasty (well, not that compost sounds tasty, but you can use it to grow fruits and vegetables!)
