The sale is during store hours at each location. Please call if you’re not sure of store hours. (Sorry, Torrington closed today due to construction on campus.) Sale limited to in-stock items and doesn’t include special orders. Free gift wrapping and gift boxes available with purchase.

This will be the last sale before the Christmas Holiday. Most locations will be closed December 24 or have shortened hours.
