There’s a new way to gear up for adventure in Princeton. Secondhand Summit officially opened its doors the weekend of October 3, 2025, inviting the community into a space where gently used outdoor gear finds its next chapter.
The shop is the vision of Don Yannuzzi Jr., who brings years of environmental and natural-resource experience from his time on Cape Cod to his new home in Central Massachusetts. Now living in Westminster with his partner, Jillian Gregoriou of Hubbardston, Don’s passion for conservation, community, and helping others get outdoors inspired him to create Secondhand Summit as a place where stewardship meets community.
More than just a consignment shop, Secondhand Summit is growing into a community space built around connection, sustainability, and shared experience. Don’s vision is to create a place where people can learn, connect, and be inspired—future offerings include fly-tying workshops, trip-planning nights and storytelling with local legends who’ve taken on unforgettable challenges and want to share their memories.
By providing quality outdoor clothing, footwear, and equipment, Secondhand Summit gives well-made gear a second life—and, in turn, helps fuel future programs and opportunities for the community across all outdoor activities.
As Secondhand Summit continues to grow, Don is committed to listening and evolving—offering programs, workshops, and experiences shaped by the needs and interests of the community. Current partnerships include guided ice and fly fishing excursions throughout New England, custom paddle makers from Portland, Maine, and a gear-repair specialist who will host in-shop events. Bring the jacket with a broken zipper and come meet our crew at our Gear Repair Pop-Up, taking place October 18 from 11am – 3pm.
Located on the third floor above the Post Office at Post Office Place. See you at the summit! Where used gear has stories in the seams. Visit secondhandsummit.com for consignment guidelines.
