Get Ready For The Alexandria Sidewalk Sale

Style
Written By Elizabeth Todd

There are two big sales in Alexandria every year, and this coming weekend is one of them. The annual Alexandria Sidewalk Sale is Saturday, August 12 (but our three shops will be extending the sale!). What started over a decade ago as a few stores putting out tables and marking down prices has turned into a huge city-wide sale. Thanks to Visit Alexandria, our local tourism bureau, the town has come together to make this one of the most exciting shopping events of the year. 

Tables line the sidewalks, and the deals often continue inside too. With any luck, I’ll be at The Hive, working the sale in air-conditioning. All jokes aside, we still have hundreds of items at each store, including The Shoe Hive and Yellow Jacket. Most markdowns will range from 60 to 80 percent off – with some discounts going even deeper.

Speaking of Yellow Jacket, if you haven’t stopped in recently, this is the time to snag some great deals. We have racks and racks of button downs, polos, quarter zips, and more.

At our three stores, the sale starts on Thursday, August 10, and runs through Sunday. We also have extended our weekend hours. On Friday and Saturday, we will be open from 9am to 6pm; our Sunday hours will be 11am to 6pm. So, lots of time to take advantage of the incredible markdowns. Of course, you can shop the deals online too.

Owner | The Hive, The Shoe Hive, and Yellow Jacket

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
