]]> Celebrating 28 Years in Business with Fall Fest! https://www.seconduse.com/2022/09/celebrating-28-years-in-business-with-fall-fest/ Thu, 15 Sep 2022 21:16:48 +0000 https://www.seconduse.com/?p=3500373 Join us on Saturday, September 17th, as we celebrate Second Use’s 28th anniversary! Fall Fest is one of our favorite days of the year. Not only is it our largest sale of the year, but we get to have a little fun with our community as well!

Save 20% OFF all inventory at both stores all day next Saturday! In Tacoma we’ll have some fun games to be enjoyed by all ages, and a Beer Garden presented by Reckoning Trade Project for those 21+! In Seattle we’ll have both of those options, with the Beer Garden presented by our friends at Sawhorse Revolution. In Seattle we’ll also have an Ask An Expert Booth presented by Mighty House Construction. They know a thing or two about using salvaged materials in renovations and build outs, and are a great advice resource. Bring a tee shirt and have it emblazoned with a fun Second Use design for free! Enjoy a tasty beverage at the Pilgrim Coffee Truck. And last but not least, grab a FREE hot dog! (We’ll have beef and veggie dogs available.)

Both stores will feature 2-hour holds only on Saturday. The sale is all day (9AM-5:30PM), and the festivities run from 11-4. We hope you can join us for a great deal and a fun & festive start to the fall!
