The sale, which will discount clothes and accessories 50 to 70 percent, will be held in the former Pier 1 Imports space next to on 18th Street in Atlantic Station.
Boutiques from across metro Atlanta will participate, including several from the Midtown and Buckhead area such as Bilthouse, , Fab'rik, Just the Thing, , and Les Nouvelles.
“Fab'rik enjoys being a part of the boutique warehouse sale because it allows us to gain exposure, create new customer contacts and of course, liquidate our end-of-season merchandise," said Angelique Witcher, Midtown store manager at Fab'rik. The chain has several locations in Georgia including stores at Atlantic Station, on West Peachtree Street in Midtown and near Lenox Mall in Buckhead.
Witcher said customers can expect "amazing" deals from Fab'rik including $10 and $20 shoes, buy-one-get-one-free jeans and fashions marked down 50 to 70 percent.
There will be a "prize wheel" at the sale, Wilbert said. Every hour, a shopper will win an item from one of the participating boutiques.
“I love the comraderie at the sale, it’s a chance to talk with other boutique owners and learn from each other’s experiences," said Terri Jackson, owner of Buckhead's "We enjoy taking part in the sale because it not only gives us exposure, but is a wonderful opportunity to give deep discounts to our customers.”
