What’s Driving Traffic
The retailer is running a clearance event on outdoor power equipment through the holiday weekend. Select mowers, chainsaws and trimmers are marked down as much as 60%.
Discounts extend to fall and football-season inventory. Halloween decorations are also part of the promotion.
The early close on Monday gives shoppers a narrow window. Most deal hunters will need to finish by late afternoon.
