We make discount shopping feel like an adventure.
The Open Crate is a locally owned liquidation and discount store in Battle Creek. We bring in changing inventory and price it to move, so the store stays interesting and customers have a reason to hunt.
A local store built around discovery.
We purchase liquidation inventory that can include overstock, shelf pulls, seasonal merchandise, box-damage items, and customer returns from major retailers. Then we organize it, price it, and put it back into the hands of local shoppers.
The result is a store that changes quickly. You might walk in looking for one thing and leave talking about something completely different that you found along the way.
The hunt is the fun.
There is more than one way to shop The Open Crate, and that is intentional.
Fresh liquidation merchandise means the store floor can look different from one visit to the next.
Rotating box types bring surprise, variety, and the fun of the unknown.
Four price points let shoppers dig for hidden gems at one flat price per item.
We are not a national chain. We are a local Battle Creek business serving our neighbors.
Come see what the store looks like today.
The easiest way to understand The Open Crate is to visit and start hunting.
