(4.33 out of 5)Notes From The Mall: Weekend Sales
May 25th, 2007 by markdownmomMarkdown Mom’s visit to the Mall of America has come up with some great bargains:
Macy’s instore has a selection of designer suits at 50%-60% off. In addition, the markdown racks ranging from 40-75% off of miscellaneous fashions, have additional savings of 25%-30% off the markdown taken at the register.
Yes, it is true there is a Dollar Tree store at the Mall of America. Not the largest one MDM has seen, but it is quite fun to see young women sporting Chanel purses checking out the merchandise. As MDM has always said, everyone loves a bargain. Want to save money on beverages at the Mall? This store has Faygo soft drinks and water for 50¢, with brand name soda pop like Coca-Cola for $1.00.
Rainbow is a store with some hot styles in apparel and shoes. They are having a terrific sale on some great shoes for the summer, worth checking out. For the younger crowd or hipster group prices are in line for those who want the latest trends without the high ticket price.
The display windows are still carrying a lot of the black and white theme with red accessories. A splash of aqua, brown and lime can also be seen.
Editor’s Note: The one thing that was especially shocking was the lack of accessibility for the disabled at the Mall of America. Doors to the main entrance are not powered, and wheelchairs although compllimentary are not in good working order and become impossible to move on the carpet. This would be impossible for any disabled person to navigate alone. Although the Mall of America has electronic carts, there is a $25 charge for use. This seems highly incredible when other stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot , and even KMart recognize that supplying electronic carts are a cost of doing business just like advertising, etc. Merchants have got to remember that these carts aren’t only used for senior citizens with disabilities, but anyone with a permanent or temporary disability as a result of an injury or disease. Because Markdown Mom believes strongly in accessibility for all our bargain hunters, future store visits will report and rate stores on this issue.
