You may have heard last month that Home Depot is in the process of closing its 34 upscale Expo Design Center retail stores. Over the weekend I made a visit to the location in North Dallas. We went in looking for an area rug and left with a new BBQ grill!
As my wife and I entered the store we saw signs that most everything in the store was 20% off or more. Always a skeptic of store liquidation “sales”, I wasn’t getting my hopes up. But then we walked past the BBQ grills and I saw the big sign stating 20% off all grills! I’d been researching gas grills for a month or two, but really wasn’t planning on purchasing until at least April. And then I saw the Weber Genesis S-320 for only $749!! Weber Genesis grills rarely if ever go on sale – and this was nearly $200 off retail – so I wasn’t about to let this opportunity pass. The grill I walked out with was one of only two left on the floor. In speaking with the sales associate, I learned the Dallas location would likely be open for another 3-4 weeks max.
If you’ve got an Expo Design Center in your hometown, I highly recommend you go browse the aisles one last time. Oh, and if you’re in the market for the one of those monster Lynx grills, they were selling one for a mere $6800 – that’s a savings of about $1700!
