It looks a lot like a "Going Out of Business" sale, but store employees say they don't know whether the store will close.
All sales are final, so you have to be a careful shopper. But there are definitely deals to be had.
Everything in the store is at least 20% off, with some items, such as jewelry, up to 80% off.
We found a number of great deals.
A cream-colored, silk, striped Armani eveningwear blazer, with an original price tag of $4895 still on it, was on sale for $400.
A navy blue velvet Armani skirt, with its original $2025 price tag, was on sale for $160.
A sheer Chloe blouse, with an original tag of $385, was on sale for $28.
Miraclesuit bathing suits, with price tags of $110 were just $28. And Danskin exercise tops were just $8.
Employees say the store is still accepting gift cards, but no new gift cards are being sold.
