About the Store & Owner

Audley, a New Bedford local, first opened Grab Dat B4 U Miss Dat to help students and their families save money while keeping good-quality items out of landfills. He saw firsthand how hard it was for local students to juggle the rising cost of education with everyday living expenses. At the same time, perfectly useful clothing, books, and household items were being tossed aside. 

​

Although finding quality goods has always been important to Audley, building community, supporting education, creating jobs and preserving the Earth is just as important to him.

“Every item saved from landfills keeps our community cleaner and helps students focus on what matters: their education.” - Audley Bolden
