Duryea: New business comes to Main Street – Wilkes-Barre Citizens' Voice

Welcome to Duryea, Pocono Liquidations! Housed in the former Pat Shotwell’s Auto Repair at 860 Main St., Pocono Liquidations is a discount store offering brand-new items and inventory weekly.

As I perused their Facebook page, I saw photos of some of their products which included seasonal items, snacks, beverages, coffee products, paper products and much more.

Kyle’s Crystals also will be opening at the location once finishing touches on the remodel are complete.
