In 1975, Glen Arms embarked on a journey, starting his business by selling E-clips. What began as a modest endeavor evolved into something extraordinary. In 1978, Glen expanded into the world of lawn and garden parts, opening the doors of his first store in a small building in Shiloh, Ohio. The success of that venture led to the birth of Glen’s Surplus, which moved to Shelby, Ohio, in 1988, setting the stage for continuous growth. Over the years, the store has transformed into a multi-departmental haven, currently housing 11 eclectic sections.
Glen’s Surplus has become a destination for tourists, offering an unparalleled shopping experience. Whether you’re seeking lawnmower repair parts, automotive supplies, camping equipment, or military surplus, we have it all. Aisles filled with lawnmower blades, automotive essentials, and an extensive military surplus collection make Glen’s Surplus a one-stop emporium.
Our military and law enforcement section boasts a vast array of new and used equipment, from field uniforms and flags to parachutes and camouflage gear. We even buy back personal uniforms and military gear from returning soldiers.
Beyond military surplus, we trade in a variety of surplus items, and customers have dubbed us “The Shelby Mall.” We take pride in our wide variety of items, including the largest assortment of wallpaper within a 150-mile radius.
Our location is a century-old former manufacturing plant with a rich history. This space has seen everything from manufacturing foot lockers and P-38s to serving as a hinge and spring factory. Currently, it houses Glen’s Surplus, where history meets modern shopping.
