Shopping that changes with every load
A bin store is a discount-retail format where the merchandise selection changes as new wholesale liquidation loads arrive. Instead of a fixed selection of the same products every week, you might encounter home essentials, accessories, small electronics, hardware, seasonal products and the occasional surprise.
How does a bin store work?
1. New merchandise arrives
Suppliers may provide returns, overstock, shelf pulls, closeouts or mixed merchandise. Quantities, categories and product conditions can change dramatically.
2. Customers explore what's available
The fun is browsing. A bin store often emphasizes hands-on searching over predictable shelf-by-shelf shopping. Not every store uses the same prices or restocking schedule.
3. The next trip can look different
Because inventory is inconsistent, visitors often discover a different mix on a future trip. That makes useful finds and oddball gems part of the experience.
What will make THE DIG. different?
THE DIG. brings a bold, bright brand to the discount-shopping format: turquoise, hot pink, playful merchandise and the tagline “Bin there, bought that.” The concept is being developed at 1414 Atlantic Avenue in Atlantic City.
