It’s that time of year for discount shoppers to revel in the glory of a great sale. But have you ever wondered if there is a method to the madness, a strategy behind the “For Sale” signs that flank retail store windows at this time of year?
Baltimore Fishbowl caught up with Bridget Quinn Stickline, owner of Wee Chic children’s and tween’s store in Green Spring Station to find out a retailer’s perspective behind the mid-summer sale. Wee Chic’s summer sidewalk sale is happening all week through Saturday, July 16, with extended evening hours on Thursday until 8 pm. According to Bridget, “Our Summer Sidewalk Sale is a great opportunity for parents and grandparents to snag some great finds at the deepest discounts that only happen twice a year. We encourage shoppers to not only think about this season, but think ahead and buy for next spring and summer, too. After all, you can’t beat the prices for this quality product!”
Wee Chic discounts clothing an additional 50% Off of already reduced prices for this one week only, which seems to be a win-win for both retailer and customer. The customer can seize some great deals while the retailer takes this opportunity to clear display space for new Back to School arrivals, which at Wee Chic are dropping in daily. “I have to look away sometimes; we are talking $7 for an Under Armour t-shirt kind of deals but the clients love this chance to stock up and we are excited to have space to show all the great new back to school stuff. It’s a really fun week. ” says Quinn-Stickline. Customers at Wee Chic will see familiar brands on sale such as Tea Collection, Toobydoo, Kate Spade, Ella Moss, Kickee Pants, Mayoral and many more. Wee Chic estimates that there are more than 1500 pieces on sale including swimwear and great gifting accessories for Camp Visiting Weekend. Sizes range from newborn to 8 for boys and newborn to size 16 for girls. But hurry in to get the best selection because before we know it, Back to School merchandise will be on the racks and this chance to grab a great deal will be long gone. If you shop Thursday-Saturday July 16th you can shop sale center wide at Green Spring Station for the annual Summer Sidewalk Sale celebrated in all the boutiques.
Wee Chic is located in Green Spring Station in Lutherville at the intersection of Joppa and Falls Rds.
