This is how you make the most of a going-out-of-business sale.
She says her daughter gave her the idea to help kids who are in need of new shoes
An Arkansas mom of three is making the most of a going-out-of-business sale at a local Payless shoe store. She initially went into the store looking to score some affordable back-to-school shoes for her own kids, but what ended up happening is far more rewarding than snagging a good deal for yourself.
“She has the biggest heart, and she said ‘There is a boy in my class that loves avengers, and his shoes are too small, could you buy him these?,’ and I was like ‘of course,'” JerniganThus, a brilliant and generous idea was born: Jernigan asked the store clerk how much it would cost to buy out every last pair of shoes. “I could see her face; her wheels started to turn,” Jernigan says.
Later that day, Jernigan received a call from Payless’s district manager, who approved the purchase. Jernigan was told to expect 200-300 pairs of shoes, but a last-minute shipment more than tripled that number. “The next thing you know we are trying to figure out how to get almost 1,500 shoes home with us that day,” Jernigan says. While the thought of over a thousand shoeboxes overtaking the home is indeed extremely overwhelming and anxiety-triggering, think about how many people will benefit from Jernigan’s generosity.all 2,100 of its U.S. stores permanently, with liquidation sales beginning this Sunday.
