rogue1230 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I just got an email from the Chelsea/Wrentham MA Premium outlets "Selected centers hosting Midnight Madness: where selected stores will be opening at Midnight, right after Thanksgiving ends. Additional information to be posted on center specific sites closer to the event. " There were rumors of this last year, but when I drove by them on the highway, the area was really dark and I was on the way to Walmart. Soooo.... unless I can get confirm of some serious deals I won't be stopping, but we'll see...what's a couple more hours up anyway right?
AndreaInNC Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I did this last year and OMG I have never seen so many people shopping at 1am. There was a line to get into most of the smaller stores, and some stores checkout lines were like an hour long .. was it worth it ??? oh yeah .. the entire Banana Republic outlet was taken an additional 40% off everything! Yipee for me!
fairydustcrissy Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Yup, hubby works at a chelsea mall...well he did, they are Simon now...but will still be doing the Midnight Madness. He said it was dead until about 3am, but then people starting pouring in. I know here, the stores has specific sales for certain hours.
leefamily23 Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 I so wish the outlet in Niagara Falls would do this-- they didn't last year. They are a prime outlets chain. Even if the Grove City, PA one did it I'd make the trip down there and then hightail it back to Erie,PA for the big sales at the stores.
leefamily23 Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Just have to add the one in Grove City PA (their website) is showing opening at midnight for BF/Thanksgiving. This might be soooooo worth going to. Anyone find off the wall really great deals??? It would be 90 minutes there from my house. Then 45 minutes back to Erie by 5/6am for the other store sales. Decisions, decisions.......

This might be soooooo worth going to. Anyone find off the wall really great deals??? It would be 90 minutes there from my house. Then 45 minutes back to Erie by 5/6am for the other store sales. Decisions, decisions.......If you planned it right, maybe you could do all your shopping in Grove City and then drive home to Erie after you were all done? That would save you from having to hurry back to Erie. I'm just suggesting it, I have no idea of the stores in your area...
AndreaInNC Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Well just to let you know that not all the stores will participate. At the one by my house in Smithfield, NC, the lines were huge from 11pm until like 3am. The larger stores like Gap, Banana Republic, Geoffrey Beane, Yankee Candle, Eddie Bauer and Ralph Lauren were open .. some of the small stores were not. If you need clothes .. then it might be worth it .. but last year some stores had a wait time of 1/2 hour to one hour just to pay ... and god help you if you needed to try anything on .. I think this was the 3rd year for our outlet mall to run the midnight madness.

lightguy Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 CNNMoney. com has an article talking about malls opening at midnight on Thanksgiving night. Here's the link.http://money.cnn.com/2006/10/10/news/companies/blackfriday_earlyopening/index.htm?postversion=2006101016
RossMAN Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Thanks for the list and link to the CNN article :)
peachysquirt21 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Wish there was one close by to me. I would be goin. LOL
freesia39 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 i tried to go last year and i just wasn't up to it - i was sick and tired. MAYBE this year... who knows.
leefamily23 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 I don't see it on the list- but the website for the Grove City, PA outlets is advertising being open at 12am too. It's about 2 hrs from me, so I'm trying to decide if it will be worth my time.
BEE4 Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 The one nearby me is on the list - I am going. Thank you.
disneynutangie Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 darn smithfield, nc is too far from me.
BFQueenofNY Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 OMG:eyepoppin I cannot say thank you enough for this. I just registered for VIP status and they are having a VIP sale next Saturday.
sevirj Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 darn smithfield, nc is too far from me.It's a little far for me too. I'm getting up early for BF, but not early enough to want to drive THAT far!! Besides, we went there a few months ago, and except for maybe a handful of stores, we weren't really all that impressed with the prices.
krstee Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 darn smithfield, nc is too far from me.I'll actually be in Smithfield, NC for Thanksgiving (dh's parents live there) - so I may consider starting my shopping there before I head back to my town to wait for the BF deals.
nitstalker Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 OMG its going to be a looooong day.... "Load up on A LOT of coffee after that holiday turkey because many more malls are promising to kick off the big holiday sales at the stroke of midnight as Thanksgiving becomes Black Friday." To hell with coffee... im going to have to mainline the caffiene to stay up that long hahaha Gonna have to plan my route around the starbucks
able Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 wow ..ok clinton is a tad far..but what the heck,,, i bet ill go
mitchandalisha Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 My mom is going to die! We are going to shop all night and all day! I just can't wait!!
carone0318 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I'm by the Jackson, NJ outlets. Now if they would just have a Friends & Family coupon for the Bass Outlet I'd have a reason to go. I'm keep my eyes open. The last Friends and Family for Bass was Sept and they said that the Friends and Family for the other Van Heusen stores would be in Oct.
druffing Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 It is about 2 hours from me too...I am south...do they have good bargains? I will probably stick to my usual at Robinson.
queenki Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 When they say open, are they meaning you can make purchases at midnight? That would be wonderful if so. Anyone ever shopped the Outlets at midnight previously? I went last year but it was well afternoon. Good deals:D
luv2shopnc Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Thanks for that info, I plan to hit the one in my area then head straight to WM;) :)
Cecilliadb Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Bummer.....if I had someone to watch DS I would go early early in the morning and see what the one close to me has...theres always next year.
