Eau Claire’s New BinSconsin Store Offers Treasures by the Truckload
1 Dec 2023
News, Eau Claire
Calling all treasure hunters: Are you savvy with your money and always looking for a deal? Well, Chippewa Valley, a new bargain bin store is in business. A husband and wife team, Job and Kelly Jones, are the owners of BinSconsin (2214 Seymour Road, Eau Claire) and they are bringing treasures to town by the literal truckload.
What is a bin store and how does it operate? A bin store is a retail space that purchases overstock, returned, and seasonal clearance items at wholesale prices and sells at rock-bottom prices. A large portion of these pallets of products come from local big box retailers like Wal-Mart and Target and online retailers such as Amazon. Brokers hold contracts from these large companies to purchase items that aren’t sold at stores, and then they sell them to businesses like BinSconsin to resell as a business venture.
