About Us

Welcome to Vic and Lori’s Countryside Outlet, where great deals meet small-town values!

We’re proud to bring something new to Emerson, Iowa — a unique shopping experience built around quality, affordability, and community spirit. Our store specializes in Amazon return items, but unlike typical “bin stores,” every product you’ll find here is individually tested, organized, and displayed on shelves for an easy, enjoyable shopping experience.

From electronics and home goods to toys, tools, and beyond, we offer a wide variety of items at around 50% off retail prices. Each product is carefully checked to make sure it works properly, so you can shop with confidence and discover real value in every aisle.

While we do have an online catalog, it’s view-only — no shipping, no online checkout. We want to keep the focus on foot traffic, personal connections, and the joy of finding great deals in person. Plus, shipping costs would only eat away at the savings we’re proud to offer, and that’s not what we’re about!

Beyond great prices, we’re here to help revitalize our community — creating local jobs, supporting area families, and bringing new life to downtown Emerson. When you shop with us, you’re not just saving money — you’re helping strengthen the heart of small-town Iowa.

Stop in, say hello, and see what treasures you’ll uncover.

V and L’s Countryside Outlet — Good finds. Great prices. Proudly local.
