Next Saturday: Alexandria Boutique Warehouse Sale

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- The longest running annual designer warehouse sale recently announced the date for its once-a-year winter event. Deemed the “Super Bowl of Shopping Event” in the region (always occurring the Saturday of Super Bowl weekend), the 12th Annual Alexandria Warehouse Sale is set for Saturday, Feb. 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Alexandria.

Due to the growing popularity of the sale, last year’s event had to expand and move to a new location at the Westin Alexandria and will be held again at the hotel located in the Carlyle District of Old Town Alexandria. The fun yet casual event will include a variety of new boutiques and retailers from Alexandria and across the region. Over the past several years, the sale has averaged approximately 1,000 shoppers throughout the day.

Deal seekers will find the very best from Alexandria’s and the regions finest retailers and "indie" brands with various brands of clothing, shoes, jewelry, home furnishings and more up to 80 percent off retail prices. Experienced sale shoppers line up early in the morning hours to get first grabs at top-label merchandise, and throughout the day the sale has a steady pace of shoppers. Folks that decide to wait until the last few hours of the sale can score even more markdown deals with merchants looking to move seasonal merchandise.
