Thanksgiving? That's a first, isn't it? I know some bigboxes were doing T-day sales but not the boutique stores.
Do you mean being open on Thanksgiving? Yeah, I think that is a first.

Next PCE will be starting around November 19....Spoke to SA in boutique yesterday. It will be another tiered PCE, and she said that there would be no exclusions this time.
Thank you for the inside info!Yep, I'm still hearing the same too. Black Friday pce, tiered, and starting the week before Thansgiving.
Further, the manager had told me a few weeks ago, and my SA reiterated it again the other day, that although it starts as a pce, it's going to go completely *public*, so it doesn't matter if you don't get a code.
And no, no exclusions (my SA had been watching that particular part because I'm going to return/rebuy a couple things I had grabbed to make sure I could get them). It particularly works because from what the manager said a few weeks ago, purchases made from early October on, count as holiday purchases and are supposed to be returnable until .... I *think* the date she'd said was Jan 14 (if not, then the date was Jan 7 ... I thought I'd posted it here, but maybe not).
As for the "Winter" sale, I'm told that it is still officially called that -- "Winter sale" ... but it's starting to sound more and more like a semi-annual. I was told it will have three "phases", and will have items that are no longer in stores just like the semi-annual. The local manager originally said, a few weeks ago when I'd posted it here, that the "Winter sale" was supposed to start the day after Christmas. While I have not heard anything specifically different on that, I am personally kind of wondering. Last year, the semi-annual was before Christmas, so I'd be surprised if this "Winter" sale wouldn't get bumped up to before Christmas too. I do know it's coming, because my SA point out that it would bring back things no longer in store, and would have three phases.
Anyway .... most of this is what my SA said last Thursday, and it does, for the most part, continue to match what the manager had said a few weeks prior.

The pce starts Saturday before Thanksgiving. Tiered as before, ie:
20% up to $250
25% $250-500
30% $500 and up.
My store has the list of pce's in now, but not any exclusions list. Any exclusion list should be arriving by early next week.
(Thank you, my wonderful SA! Who is helping with an order.)
I was told that only Saddle Bags are excluded. I have already done my pre-sales.
Can you only do pre-sales on items they have in store already? Or can you do it on items they are getting in later?
I was able to do it on both .. my store is small so didn't have a lot of stuff .. also, I wanted two items that are not out yet.![]()
