By now you've certainly heard about the Carolina Warehouse Sale starting this weekend. It's only been dubbed the "sale of all sales in Charlotte, North Carolina." At least, Vogue thinks so.
Carolina Warehouse Sale is a one-week (June 27-July 4) premiere discount sales event offering top designer items for unbeatable prices. This event will offer shoppers access to a huge inventory from top regional boutiques and national designers and will be held at 4720 Sharon Road (corner of Sharon and Fairview Road in the old Barnes and Noble store).

Because stores placed their spring orders last year, before the economic downturn (with their customers pre-recession shopping habits in mind), they have an abundance of merchandise that hasnt sold this season. And the opportunity? Caldwell came up with the idea to have Charlotte-area stores combine their leftover clothing and shoes and have one big sell-off.
