The Picky Chick Sale kicks off this Wednesday

Can you believe it? And it’s not a moment too soon, with spring-like weather in the air, my kids needs more shorts and t-shirts and soon! Drop-offs started yesterday at The Picky Chick’s Knoxville Expo Center location. The space has recently been revamped and is now even more spacious. It’s amazing how far this sale has come from its humble beginnings in Fountain City just a few years ago.

The sale is officially open on Thursday, but don’t worry you can shop early on Wednesday evening between 6-8 p.m. And you don’t need to pull strings or consign to get in early. Just chip in $5 for this sale’s charity Blount County Birth to 3 program (as voted for on Facebook) and you can take your ‘pick’ prior to the opening day. If you can’t make it to the pre-sale or the first official day, then don’t despair they restock daily so it’s worth shopping.

What else can you expect to find? In past years I’ve bought timeless boys clothes such as an adorable navy blue pea coat and a Dwell comforter set for my little guy’s crib and more. As far as sales go, this one is nice and laid back and shopping is fun (even on 1/2 price Saturday!)

More sale details:
Thu, March 1, 2012  10am – 8pm
Fri, March 2, 2012    10am – 8pm
Sat, March 3, 2012     9am – 3pm – 1/2 Off Sale

Knoxville EXPO Center, 5441 Clinton Hwy
