Grown-ups will also have their own stuff to pick from, such as home and kitchen decor and clothing, which were purchased specifically for the sale. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Get an additional 50 percent off sale prices Saturday. Prices are good only at the warehouse at 3949 E. 46th St., Mpls., 612-876-3980, not in the stores.
