A rather unique chain of stores around the Chicago and Milwaukee area sell a rather large amount of "borrowed" products. Home Owners Bargain Outlet, known as HOBO is a home improvement and housewares store, selling a lot of overstock products from other chains. All these products were found on a visit to one Hobo on a single day, it amazed me just where some of this stuff came from.
Some Winn-Dixie sink cleaner.
Publix drain cleaner
Stop & Shop/ Giant paper towels.
Ingles in house brand of tissue, Laura Lynn.
Weis napkins
Wegmans bath tissue was an extra special find.
Not a big deal to me on this one, but Meijer rubber gloves.
Walgreens and Duane Reade together at once.
Thank you for reading Trip to the Mall and continue to follow us on Facebook for additional content and information on shopping centers and retail stores across the Midwest.
Wow...not only have Duane Reade-branded products been gone from the stores since like 2013 (unfortunately replaced by Walgreens' family of brands), but that is actually an OLDER design of the DR-branded products which were re-designed in like 2009. That is fun to see. The Duane Reade distribution center in Maspeth Queens was recently closed by Walgreens, so they may have sold off a lot of old stock to wholesalers.
