News / Sales Carolina Warehouse Sale makes it on Vogue

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 hasn’t 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.
