This is not new. Arizona had a store like that. I went once, but then found it went out of business later. No surprise.

So it’s a fence.
They have those here in central Arkansas. Definitely fun to dig around in on dollar day; you never know what you’re gonna find.
I think I’ve found a solution to the buildup of used Amazon boxes and used cat litter at my house.
Sounds exactly like Black Friday (the store franchise, not the day)
My wife goes dumpster diving every Wednesday at Black Friday when everything is $0.50
