It all started at Dead On Arms, Candi's firearm store, where she began carrying a small selection of military surplus gear. The response from customers was overwhelming — so she and her husband Kyle decided to go all in. In 2024, with all three of their kids pitching in to help, the Allen family opened Second Chance Surplus in Cloquet, MN. Today, we're proud to be the only military surplus store in Northern Minnesota, offering quality gear that's durable, affordable, and ready for a second lease on life. Come see us at 6552 Hwy 2, Cloquet, MN 55720.
