Corporate decides which stores go on clearance, per the mgr i spoke with last night. Some of the inner city stores or ones with less stock of toys, will clearance sooner than the ones with big stock (aka Western Shawnee). I live in Western Shawnee, and hit the sale last year and spent bunches....this year per the mgr, it just isn't the same. Please let me know what KC stores you know have the 75% off toys. PLEASE AND THANK YOU. I have belonged to this site for years, but had to change my name, because i switched email addresses.
