Have you ever wondered what happens to overstock and returned items from large retail and online stores?
Returned and overstock merchandise from places like Amazon, Walmart, and other big-box retailers often finds a second life through liquidation sales. Instead of being forgotten in warehouses or discarded, many of these items are sold in bulk to third-party resellers and eventually make their way to popular “bin stores,” where shoppers can discover name-brand products, household items, gifts, décor, and everyday essentials at deeply discounted prices.
Now, Greene County has a bin store of its own, and it is bringing a fresh, exciting shopping experience to the community.
Crazy Crate Liquidation, located in Carmichaels, gives local residents the chance to find great deals close to home without having to travel out of the area. For families, bargain hunters, small business owners, and anyone who loves the thrill of a good find, the store offers a fun and affordable way to shop while supporting a local business.
Owner Carla Hlatky is excited to welcome customers to her first store, which opened in March 2026 at 202 Carmichaels Plaza in Carmichaels, Pa. She hopes to continue growing and eventually open a second location in Waynesburg.
One of the most exciting parts of Crazy Crate Liquidation is that the inventory is always changing. New merchandise arrives every two weeks, which means shoppers never know what treasures they may discover. Each visit feels like a new adventure, with opportunities to uncover surprising deals and unique items at prices that make shopping fun again.
In addition to liquidation merchandise, the store also features a charming selection of locally made products, including great-smelling lotions, soaps, simmer pots, and “Ivy’s” potions.” These special creations are made locally by Ivy & June, named after Carla’s four-year-old granddaughter and Ivy’s Dog June, adding a heartwarming family touch to the business.
Crazy Crate Liquidation is more than just a discount store. It is a new opportunity for Greene County residents to save money, shop local, discover something unexpected, and support a family-owned business with big dreams for the future.
Crazy Crate Liquidation is open Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
