Oak Park chamber to organize warehouse pre-shop

The 4th Annual Retail Warehouse Sale Pre-Shop will be held in February at The Arts Center of Oak Park.

The Retail Warehouse Sale Pre-Shop is an exclusive event where consumers can browse local vendors without worrying about crowds. Those who attend the pre-shop session will receive two glasses of complimentary wine and sweet treats, and guests will also be given a free reusable shopping tote bag. Volunteers who sign up for a shift during the following public sales day will get free admission to the pre-shop sale. Registration for volunteers will open on January 1.

The Oak Park and River Forest Chamber of Commerce is a member-based group that supports local businesses and provides people with marketing opportunities. The organization hosts several events like the Retail Warehouse Sale each year, including their Health Wellness Fair and Bite Nite. The group also helps business owners network with other professionals in the area. Activities like these can be marketed to the community with flyer printing.

The warehouse sale pre-shop will be held on Friday, February 19 from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Tickets to access the event will cost shoppers $20 each. Those who buy four tickets will get the fifth ticket for free. The public Retail Warehouse Sale will be free to enter, and guests can register in advance starting on January 1.
