Branson’s Bin Store

Have you ever wondered, what exactly is a bin store? Or what kinds of bargains you might find there? If you’ve never been to a bin store, Richard and Liz Pomeroy of Branson’s Bin Store, located at 1447-A St. Hwy. 248 in Branson, between Hobby Lobby and CoxHealth, invite you to stop by and find out! 

Branson’s Bin Store sells overstock and returns from large, well-known retailers. Those items that were sent back because the color didn’t work for someone, the surplus stock when seasons change, and much, much more, create a fun shopping experience with fresh inventory each week, so shoppers never know what they will find, but it might be just what you’re looking for, and it’s sure to be a great bargain. 

The Pomeroy family, originally from England, moved to Missouri from Montana in 2010, and spent time farming east of Ava. They enjoyed regular visits to Silver Dollar City festivals and other special events in Branson, staying at the Wilderness Campground and later becoming regulars at Treasure Lake. They got into the liquidation-based business around 2020, starting with a single pallet selling online and transitioning into booths around town. The business has been in the current location since early 2022 and now buys by the truck load! Liz manages day-to-day operations at the store, with assistance from Richard, who also works part time as a paramedic at Silver Dollar City. Adult children Daniel and Michelle are also involved in the business. 

“It’s sort of morphed into more than we thought,” said Liz. “People see it as an opportunity to stop by and chat and just relax.” The family all enjoy meeting people and being involved in the community, including serving in the tech and media ministry at Faith & Wisdom Church. 

The bin concept starts each week on Saturday, with fresh stock and refills all day, priced at $5 per bin item. On Monday, prices drop to $4, and on Tuesday, fresh stock is added and prices go to $3, then to $2 on Thursday and $1 on Friday. So, while selection might be better at $5, there’s always the chance of a real find for just $1! In addition to the bins, there is also a large selection of brand-new, highly discounted fixed-price products on the shelves.

Store hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Monday, Tuesday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, Friday; closed Wednesday and Sunday.
