Purdue University Surplus Store relocating to campus site; moving sale now underway

September 4, 2015  


Purdue University Surplus Store will be moving in October to better serve faculty, staff and students with a convenient campus location at the Materials Management and Distribution Center (MMDC). To prepare for the move, the store is holding a sale at the current location at 3601 Sagamore Parkway North, Suite K, in Lafayette.

Purdue University Surplus Store will suspend operations at its Sagamore Parkway location at 4 p.m. Sept. 18 and open at MMDC at noon Oct. 5. The move to MMDC will provide campus customers with easier access to the store while also offering community members two points of entry from South Russell Street and Ahlers Drive, says Mark Schock, manager of materials management and distribution.

"It's been our goal for a while to make access to the store more convenient for everyone," Schock says. "Now we can do so with our new location while at the same time taking advantage of a better operational space within the Material Management and Distribution Center."

Purdue University Surplus Store sells items Purdue departments declare as surplus, including office furniture, computer equipment, fitness equipment and appliances. Items are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, and all merchandise is sold as is without warranty. Refunds are not allowed.

The store's moving sale will have graduated discounts on all items:

* Through today (Sept. 4) -- 50 percent off.
* Sept. 8- 11 -- 75 percent off.
* Sept. 14-18 -- All remaining merchandise will be sold for $1.

Discover, MasterCard, Visa, check and cash will be accepted for payment. Items must be removed on the day of purchase, and buyers are responsible for loading their own purchases. There are limited quantities of all items.

The store is open to the public noon-4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Purdue University Surplus Store will hold a grand opening event later in the semester. For more information, contact the store at 765-742-4414 or visit during open hours. Updates and information also will be available on the Purdue University Surplus Store Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/PurdueSurplusStore.
