I know a lot of us have been trying to make this and have missed out a few times in the past. My coworkers noticed that there are about 200 ppl lined up outside of the former Borders location on Fordham Blvd (right down the street from my job) in Chapel Hill.
J.Crew's Regional Warehouse Sale in Chapel Hill, North Carolina starts today! The hours for this sale are:
Friday, October 7th (8AM to 8PM) Saturday, October 8th (8AM to 8PM) Sunday, October 9th (10AM to 8PM)
The location for the store is:
(old Border's location) 1801 Fordham Blvd Chapel Hill, NC 27514
I'm working til 3 so someone should go buy me some stuff and bring it to me here my size is always the first to go 10/7/2011 9:23:05 AM

last time they had this sale, they were so disorganized
Don't go if you don't have time to look through piles and piles of clothes
I did get 3 pairs of pants and 2 shirts for like $60 though. Just have to have the patience to sift through piles of clothes. 10/7/2011 9:28:27 AM

No! You're not supposed to advertise this until I've had a chance to go through and clean up what I want!!
I'm heading by there tonight on my way home. The last one was disorganized, but I don't think there's a way to do it any better than it's done. 10/7/2011 9:32:41 AM

crossing my fingers that this sale escapes my wife's radar.
got dragged there last year and I spent the time alternating between fantasizing about suicide methodology and how I'd mow down all of these fucking batshit insane women with various types of weaponry. 10/7/2011 10:28:57 AM

^Yes! I managed to get some great cashmere sweaters last year for cheap (~$20), a suit dress for $15, and some LuLu Metallic Peep toes, which are completely awesome. Hoping to get lucky again this year. 10/7/2011 10:55:21 AM

Yeah there is no way my husband will come w/ me after I dragged him to the one in January. The stuff for guys was crap and he didn't find anything. He did a Roses walk-through and then said he had had enough and I could come back the next day w/o him  10/7/2011 11:01:39 AM

I was grateful.. I didn't know about it.
I managed to find a short wedding dress for possible reception change/rehearsal dinner, pair of chinos, a sweet blazer, some booties, dress pants, and another dress.
I think I could've spent forever in there just looking at stuff. I definitely took the advice of wearing bike shorts under my jeans and a cami. Had no qualms trying on things wherever. I love digging through piles of things... 10/7/2011 8:29:02 PM

There will be some good stuff, but a lot of it is already picked over. There are still hundreds of full boxes left. Also, they get another shipment in on Tuesday. 10/8/2011 8:20:12 PM

Oh Tuesday sounds promising.
Sunday or Tuesday? 10/9/2011 1:21:02 AM

Beethoven86 All American 3001 Posts user info edit post |
Tuesday will be better if you hit it after the shipment is put out. Less people to deal with. Today is going to be crowded, especially if people think the sale ends today. Would suck if you went, and they hadn't unpacked any new stuff yet though.
Also, the clearance sale in January had a steep price cut maybe half way through, so, I'm going back after that point. I didn't even look at shoes this time around, because they dropped them to $20 last time. And blazers are $50 right now, and should go down to $30 by the end of the sale. 10/9/2011 9:03:41 AM

no need to be a smartass, the blog post said it was until sunday

Not trying to be a smartass, it's just been answered a million times. I think the mistake is that people originally misread the flyer, since Sunday's times include through the 23rd, and they just skipped over it and just read "Friday, Saturday, Sunday." The flyer has not changed, that is the one I got originally in my email two weeks ago. 10/11/2011 10:15:37 AM

Beethoven86 All American 3001 Posts user info edit post |
It's on the flyer itself, and in this thread, and anywhere else that's talked about the sale. It's not being a smartass, it's being capable of reading. And yes, now I'm being snarky, and you're being an idiot.
And why would it need to be mentioned in the blogpost, when the answer is prominently displayed at the top?

writeup says it is 3 days
you act like i didnt go through and look this up. Quit being a smartass
would you like to point me to "anywhere else thats talked about the sale," because the first 5 google results say it is only 3 days
a simple yes, it is still going on would have sufficed

Are you trying to prove that it's only three days? Because you're fighting a losing battle, as you well know. I've already offered my explanation on why I think people misread the flyer, but that's neither here nor there, as it's painfully obvious that it lasts until the 23rd. I don't understand why you're getting your panties in a wad over this. It lasts for 2 weeks, it always does. 10/11/2011 10:56:59 AM

im pointing out that you dont have to be a prick and that it was an easy mistake to make because all of the literature about it other than the flyer jpg said it was 3 days
i dont want to drive to chapel hill for something that isnt still going on

GoldenGirl, as soon as I get home I can try to get a pic and post it but I was thinking of maybe finding one from online.
gunzzybaby, LOL who knows!? My junior prom dress was a size 12 and was altered to my size,so since then I believe that ANYTHING is possible
Mr Scrumples, I wanted to do some men's shopping but I walked in there at 11:37 and walked out at 11:58 to make it to work a minute late at 12:01. I just had enough time to look at the ladies' stuff but I'll say that Beethoven86 was correct in saying that they received a new shipment. Everything I actually did see was different from what I saw last Friday and there was much more size selection. 10/11/2011 2:28:54 PM
