Chicago’s Last Military Surplus Store | Chicago News

Step into Chicago’s last standing military surplus treasure trove—Army Navy Sales, where history meets hard-wearing gear. Founded in 1946 by WWII vets Sol and Sylvia Schreck, this family legacy now lives on through third-gen owner Adam Hirsch, who chose to keep the doors open rather than sell. Spanning four warehouses and 100,000 square feet, it’s a one-stop shop for everything from vintage bomber jackets to gas masks—and yes, even Ukraine relief gear after the 2022 invasion. With items you won’t find online and prices that stayed steady through the pandemic, this storied store proves resilience runs deep in its DNA.
