Tax-Free Weekend starts in the morning and it's stacked:

🎒 Spend $100+ and get 20% OFF your purchase
💸 PLUS pay no tax on clothing
🧸 PLUS kids get a FREE squishy toy (while supplies last!)

Resale prices + 20% off + no tax = the cheapest back-to-school haul in the metro. And the squishies WILL go fast — first come, first squished.

Open 8am–8pm both Friday and Saturday. See you bright and early. 😉

Tax-Free Weekend is August 7th & 8th — and we're opening EARLY. 🎒

Doors open at 8am both days (that's two extra hours of shopping). No sales tax on clothing and other qualifying items, which means those already-low resale prices on Nike, Under Armour, Hollister, and more just got even better.

Plus: kids get a FREE squishy toy while supplies last. 🥳

8am – 8pm, both days. Come early for the best selection — the racks are stocked and ready.
