The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s new Surplus With a Purpose (SWAP) shop opens Friday, with a grand opening set for a week later.
The new location at 1061 Thousand Oaks Trail is in the Verona Technology Park near the intersection of County M and PB.
The SWAP shop sells quality surplus university and state government property to nonprofits and the public. The inventory changes constantly, from bowling pins to chemistry lab flasks to a TV set with a clear housing so that state prison guards could easily check it for contraband.
