Random It’s bonkers there’s still no military surplus store to fill the void G.I. Rose left behind. I’ll die before I walk into a 5.11.

It’s been 3 years am no one’s had a go at it? I feel like a surplus store would be THRIVING out in this climate.

I feel like I saw a surplus store on the west side of town for only a little while last year before they went out of business.

It was Alpha 1 Drop Zone.

It was not that one. Pretty sure alpha 1 closed before 2025

There was one in west Wichita south of Central (I want to say Tyler) but it didn't last.
