One of the Tri-Cities' most distinctive retail stops is taking its rarest inventory outside for a two-weekend tent sale, including items that have never been available on the retail floor.
Here's what to know:
When it runs: The sale spans two weekends (June 26–28 and July 3–5) daily from 10AM to 7PM, rain or shine.
The merchandise: Expect heavy industrial equipment, architectural salvage, vintage machinery, platform scales, cash registers, sewing machines, oversized windows, and other large-format pieces that simply don't fit inside. Both weekends will include fresh inventory.
The store stays open too: Shoppers can move between the outdoor tent and the full 8,000-square-foot retail space during their visit.
The tent sale aims to be different than the store's curated interior experience. Where the store emphasizes discovery and presentation, the outdoor sale leans into raw and utilitarian items.
"This is the part of Industrial Treasures most people never get to see," said Diane Dewell, owner of Industrial Treasures.
Industrial Treasures is at 1501 Indiana Ave., Unit 1A in St. Charles. Learn more at industrialtreasures.com.
