Walls Bargain Center

Walls Bargain Center is a family-owned chain of discount stores that sells merchandise bought in bulk from bankruptcies, insurance losses, factory overruns and closeouts. Stock changes from week to week, and prices run 33% to 75% below regular retail, so the selection at any one store is never the same for long.

The company was started in 1950 by Newton and Maurine Wall with a grocery store in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and is now run by the third generation of the family. The stores are in Oklahoma, Texas and Mississippi, and the company's processing facility and home office are in Shawnee, where the main phone line is listed. Shoppers are advised to visit often, since good buys sell out quickly.
