surplus stores

Excess inventory outlets

Surplus stores sell excess goods, typically military equipment and supplies that armed forces no longer need.

They carry items like clothing, camping gear, boots, and field equipment at discounted prices.

The term also applies to stores selling overstock or discontinued merchandise from other sources: I found a great jacket at the army surplus store.
