The longest running annual designer warehouse sale today announced the date for its once a year winter event. Deemed in the region as the “Super Bowl of Shopping Event” (always occurring the Saturday of Super Bowl weekend), the 12th Annual Alexandria Warehouse Sale is set for Saturday, February 4th 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, free to enter event will include a variety of new boutiques and retailers not only located in Alexandria, but throughout the Metro 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.

Three Day Rule is hosting a pre-Valentine’s party with a major twist. Upon entering, guests can burn a photo of their ex, in the Burning Cauldron of Love! They’ll start the night feeling liberated as they enter the party free of past baggage. We’ll also have our team of matchmakers playing cupid (in costume), introducing guests to each other. And it’s not actually on Valentine’s Day, so non-single friends should share the love and be a good wing-person by bringing a single friend! We’ve also partnered with Magnises, Clicked Leaders, and Mangia DC so we’re expecting a huge turn out!
