BIG Box Sale 2020

YAY!!! It is finally (almost) here....Our BIG annual box sale is 6 DAYS away!!!!  THIS Saturday, Feb 1, 2020 from 7:00am-11am in West Monroe, LA. The location is the same as the past four years- at Ark La Tex Window & Door on North 7th Street in West Monroe.  Why do we have it here?? This is Brent's (Mr P's Co Owners) "Real" job location. He and his dad have this business and it has the most covered space we can find (plus parking) and not have to rent a building.

The actual address is 2804 North 7th Street~ down the road from the old Trenton Street Golf course... Hope these little maps help....

Start time is 7:00AM. We will try hard to get there a few minutes before 7 (we are just dealing with trying to coordinate 3 kids, free labor, etc) Here is a few pics from some past box sales. 

Here is some basic info for ya that we get asked a lot.....

"What time should we get there?" As early as possible-especially if you are wanting to snag youth shirts. The 2t's,4t's and 6t's seem to be what goes the fastest. Next would be the Adult mediums.  Last year, folks that arrived around 6am had plenty to pick from. We did have a few die hards that camped out..... if you do this, please just note that there is not an outdoor bathroom. You may be running down to the gas station.....

"What kind of payment are you guys taking?"- Cash and Debit/Credit only. No checks at all. We will have 3-4 check out lines. Some will be cash only and others with be debit/credit only.  Please note that there are NO exchanges after this event. All sales final. 

"Will you still have the sale if it rains?"- YES! The sale will happen rain or shine. Please note that shoppers will be standing outside while they wait to come in. If you think it might start raining, please bring an umbrella. But- we just checked the extended forecast and it says Saturday is SUNNY with a low of 42 and a high of 60. Fingers crossed it stays like that.

"How do you get in the Door?"- You just wait in line. First come, first serve. It doesn't cost anything to come shop. Repeat, no entry fee. We try to get around 15 or so shoppers in the door at a time (due to fire marshal). We ask that people try to take 15 minutes or less so everyone can get a chance to look. Our "bouncers" at the event try to keep the line moving.

Everyone loves Robby the Bouncer!! 

"How are the clothes organized?" They will all be in boxes labeled by what size they are. There will be everything from baby sizes on up to Adult 3X. Please note that our youth shirts normally run Small- So... if your child normally wears a 3t in Carter's, you will want to look at a 4t in our shirts.

"Will you put anything for sale online?" YES! After the box sale is over, we will start posting as soon as we get the sale items on our website (www.mrpstees.com). They will be listed for the same exact prices that were at the box sale. We usually have this up online by Sunday night. We will post on Instagram and on FB as soon as they are available.

"What are the Prices??" 

"Since I'm your friend, can I please come shop earlier that week?"  Please, Please, please, no.  It makes me uncomfortable because we truly try super hard to make it fair for everyone. The only folks we let shop early are our handful of volunteers who give up their Sat morning to come help us work the event for free. 

We appreciate all the excitement over this sale!!! We promise to have a tray or two of Chicken minis being passed around again for all the early birds in line, and some hot coffee.

 How many sales have you been to where they actually serve you some food?!?! We will also have some prizes for the first 15-20 folks in line....

AND FYI- Our brand rep search will be starting back up around the second week of Feb. Stay tuned for more info on Instagram to enter.

Also- SAVE THE DATE.. will be back to the Monroe, LA Junior League Spring Market March 20th-22nd with at least 6 new designs!!! 

Thanks for reading and all of your support!!!

Love
