They definitely have the traffic. They also do not advertise much of what they have, I'm guessing due to agreements they have with the original retailers, so you never really go there looking for something specific, you just kind of go hoping they have what you want or just to browse around. They are a bit of an institution here, where people are pretty frugal in nature regardless of how wealthy (or not) they are.

They will also magic-marker over the original retailers labels, but you can usually see where the product came from. For about a year they had inventory from the Texas sporting goods chain Academy, including apparel from various regional schools in Texas. Mostly Houston and San Antonio. My guess was all that inventory came from stores that were partially flooded by a hurricane.
