The History of Army Navy Surplus Stores - since 1946!

[@TribeTaz]

M&G I have visited a surplus store in Port Clinton Ohio a few times. So many cool items in there. I have bought a few patches and pins from there. Thanks for sharing this video

[@dblankenship6947]

I actually shopped there for costumes for film a few years back. Thanks for covering this.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Super cool. Thank you for watching.

[@HoughChuck]

That was fun! Thank you for a unique experience. Well done. I enjoyed the background and the first hand look. One of your gifts is you are so authentic in your interviews and your reactions. It makes the "listener" feel like they know you. i wish you every success! I will keep sharing your link so others will discover you too!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you so much, I appreciate your feedback. I tried to ask informative questions that viewers would be interested to know.

This was a Treet! The first Army Navy surplus store I went to in 1972 was M & G surplus.I still have fond memories of those days and I probably did business with his older realatives! I am an avid surplus user to this day as I just bought a large supply off of eBay.

[@WalkwithHistory]

That’s amazing! We LOVE those surplus stores. 😊

[@patriciabell4939]

When I was a kid, my mother bought my sneakers and jeans at an Army/Navy store. They also carried that type of clothing.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Love those stores. 😊

Wow this video popped up in my feed and I was like I know this place just by the thumbnail!! I went to Granby high school and went to this place when I was in NJROTC to get all my brasso and buckles and such. That place is a true landmark and finding out more about the history of it was an added bonus. Good work. Oh BTW don't pronounce the L in Norfolk. 😄

[@WalkwithHistory]

LOL. I am getting better at saying “Norfolk”. I love this place. It was so fun to film a video from there.

[@judychapman1868]

“M and G”. Really enjoyed watching, thank you for sharing!!! I’m planning a visit to surplus store soon!!!!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Awesome. I would love to hear about it. They are so fun!!!

[@seanwiley558]

I wish there were more army navy stores around because it is amazing what you can find. I could not help but notice that during you interview with the owner... in the background was a Seabee Flag! Great Video! Can Do!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Agreed! These stores are so much fun to visit and you absolutely can find some amazing things there. This is a fun store that we continue to visit…thank you for watching! 😁

Grew up in Seattle in the 50s and fondly remember the fabulous army navy surplus downtown which of course are sadly gone infact most of Seattle has been destroyed. Friedman is a common name for many hauk shops and such which their many of all up and down 1st Ave when the town was alive and well.......

[@WalkwithHistory]

Yes, this store brings fond memories to us as well. Thank you for sharing that with us. 😊😁

[@mydaddysgreeneyes]

"M and G" That was totally fascinating! I loved the interviews with the owners. A person could get lost in that store and not even care. Thank you for finding yet another place to guide us through. Just wondering...did you leave with anything cool???

[@WalkwithHistory]

No but we wanted to! Lol. We’ll probably be back there and get our own little pieces of history

[@rickdavidson7004]

M&G Thanks for the memories. Been going there since I was old enough to walk. Bought lots of stuff there too. Great place.

[@WalkwithHistory]

It is a truly awesome place!!!

[@tommyanderson-filmmaker3976]

Now this is cool, I love these shops and we have a few here we hit for wardrobe and props. Next time I'm in Northfolk, I have to check this out.

[@WalkwithHistory]

This is such a great store too! Not only for the stores history but also for everything they have. I love going there. 😊

[@Chevyguy-Ray]

M&G there was one of these in sharon,pa for many many years. It's long gone though,still an empty storefront to this day.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Awe too bad it closed. So much cool stuff in these stores.

[@irish89055]

The average Joe can buy surplus, there's Defense Supply Center near Richmond. Virginia where they used to have auctions

[@WalkwithHistory]

I love military surplus stores so much. Thank you for watching.

[@irish89055]

@@WalkwithHistory one called Hull Street Outlet here in Richmond that's been around a long time. I just miss the old a&n stores that weren't really Army Surplus but a line of clothing and shoes

[@jimdzomba9968]

M&G. Interesting store. They seem to have everything. Another great video

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you for watching.

[@jbrhel]

M and G. I could stay in that store from open to close.

[@WalkwithHistory]

It is one of my all time favorite Army Navy stores.

[@gregsayre4700]

the miniature medals are for wearing on a suit jacket

[@WalkwithHistory]

You could definitely do that. Uniforms require mini medals sometimes but they are not pins like those in that display case.

[@Britspence381]

"M and G". Great video, very interesting. I love military surplus, it's a great way to get camping gear and many other useful items at reasonable prices. Thanks for posting!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you for watching. I love visiting this store. So much cool stuff.

[@majormadmax1]

I love M&G! Larry and Laura are great, they will chat with anyone just as they did Walk with History! I've bought several items from them, including a HGU-56/P helicopter helmet (although it was for a USN hovercraft) and some "G-pants" (inflatable chaps that push blood back to the torso in high G situations). Definitely a place I go to whenever I am anywhere in the Norfolk area!

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you for the comment! Those two are great and thanks for sharing! 😁🙌🏻

[@jeffjones6951]

M&G Sales is more than a local landmark, but a shrine of all things military, especially our servicemen. This documentary was well informed and beautifully edited. I've just subscribed to "Walk With History". Thank you! ("M and G")

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you!!! I really enjoyed the visit and I can see how it is a Norfolk landmark. I am glad I found it.

[@Rippard]

M&G is great. As a 3rd generation longshoreman I have been coming in there since I was a kid for my Dad's work clothes. Now I go there for mine.

[@WalkwithHistory]

That is so cool!!!

[@LordGuppy97]

(M and G) I loved walking through the store every few weeks while studying at ODU. I hadn't found anything similar to this when I moved away; the breadth of things there is incredible!

[@WalkwithHistory]

It is an awesome place!!! Thanks for watching.

[@dmoore8705]

"M & G" Places like this, as well as Harbor Freight...are my kryptonite. Nice video and the production is getting sleeker.

[@WalkwithHistory]

Thank you! Yes it was hard not to buy things while we were filming. 😂

[@naomikohl423]

M&G such a cool store!

[@WalkwithHistory]

It was so neat. We will go when you visit.

[@GpaEric5931]

“M and G” Love this video. We had a surplus store close to where we live. They closed a few years ago. Certainly miss going and looking around. I sold all my surplus gear after I got out of the Marines. TY Jenn. Cheers.

[@WalkwithHistory]

They are so fun to explore. Thank you for watching.

"M&G" Thanks Jen, was fun to watch. I remember we used to get uniform items at the one in State College. The marine options really loved that place. I still have the gloves that I bought to wear with my uniform.
