Local, family-owned stores that have everything you need at a discount are few and far between. And one-stop shopping is nearly impossible, especially when you want to get quality merchandise at affordable prices.
These are problems that the Beacom family, owners of 380 Discount Warehouse in Murrysville, seeks to solve.
380 Auction Discount Warehouse Inc. got its start in 1965 with live auctions. Never knowing what you would see or get at these auctions kept people returning. After years of live auctions, flea markets emerged and put a bit of a damper on the auction business.
That’s when the Beacom family began to move into the retail business. Through the years, they grew, piece by piece, building by building, with the philosophy of offering a huge variety of items at discounted pricing.
After more than 50 years in business, the Beacoms have continued to expand their business with this philosophy in mind.
As their family has grown, so has the business, moving from auctions to retail and adding new goods and departments along the way.
“Our variety is what kept us here … and our prices,” said Jim Beacom III, now a third-generation family member at 380 Discount Warehouse.
The variety, in fact, is mind-blowing. The inventory is ever-changing to suit the needs of customers. They offer anything from household items, tools, pet supplies, food and toys to utility trailers, golf carts, golf cart supplies, sheds, animal feeds and so much more.
If you need to purchase something, there is a good chance you can find it at 380 Discount Warehouse, and that you can get it for an affordable price. Whether you need towing equipment for your truck or toys for your kids’ birthdays, you can find it.
If you’re looking forward to spring gardening, 380 Discount Warehouse is the place to go.
“Definitely, by all means, our plant section is the largest,” Mr. Beacom said.
In their huge garden center, they offer annuals, vegetables, perennials, trees, shrubs, hanging baskets, herbs, tropical plants, palm trees and more.
Gardening supplies, such as soils, mulches, chemicals, garden fencing, outdoor decorations and ceramic and clay pots can be found there, too.
“Mostly all of our annuals and perennials are locally grown,” Mr. Beacom said. “We offer Florida-grown flowering plants and palm trees in season, as well.”
The garden center does brisk business all year, so whether you are looking for succulents in February, Easter flowers in the spring, fall mums in October or your Christmas tree in December, 380 has you covered.
“Pretty much, in the month of May, we’re doing a tractor trailer load and a half of flowers every day,” Mr. Beacom said. During the growing season, 380 offers a large selection of produce at unbelievable prices.
Several members of the Beacom family also manage the extensive furniture section of the business. They have a showroom but also can special order a large variety of name-brand furniture.
From mattresses to sofas and loveseats, 380 Discount Warehouse will have what you need. Their furniture is brand-new and comes from a variety of manufacturers.
After dressing up your home with new furniture, you’ll want to be able to decorate it for the season. 380 Discount Warehouse has that area covered, too, with their incredibly popular seasonal-items section.
From Christmas to Easter, Valentine’s Day to Mother’s Day, Halloween and everything in between, great decorations for your entire home can be found at 380 Discount Warehouse.
Home and outdoor items might be the most often-purchased goods at 380 Discount Warehouse, but that barely scratches the surface of their offerings.
Their toy section is full of stuffed animals, puzzles and games. Automotive wares vary from oils and washes to towing equipment. You can purchase golf carts and all of the accessories that go with them.
The food department has dry and canned goods at discounted prices, and pet supplies will offer all of the food and toys you need to care for your animal friends.
380 Discount Warehouse also has an extensive tools department and even a selection of sheds to add utility to your backyard.
A vast variety of items, from big to small, for any needs you might have, are sold in one place.
“As a truly family-owned business, we grew on our philosophy of offering a variety of items at discounted pricing, and we strive to offer a unique shopping experience you won’t find anywhere else,” Mr. Beacom said.
“With the support of our customers, now and in the future, we appreciate this opportunity to serve our community. Thank you from all of us at 380 Discount Warehouse!”
