Gymboree Fill-a-Bag sale or not? Definite sales for other brands
Everyone I know has been looking forward to the Fill A Bag sale, but as of last night it is still considered tentative, and lots of folks are reporting that their Store Managers have said it’s been postponed!
Time will tell if we’re going to have this sale, and if so when, so stay tuned, and as soon as I find out anything definite, I’ll post!
Gymboree didn’t used to be this wishy-washy, flaky and noncomittal about their sales, and no one has been able to get a good answer as to why they have been of late 
If they think they don’t need to, because sales are good, they need to consider the overall harm they’re doing! I can’t tell you how many people are bailing on their planned Gymboree purchases out of principal and/or need to keep to a budget, and will be shopping Gap or other stores instead because of this nonsense!
For instance, this weekend the following stores are having a big sale:
Gap (and Old Navy, Banana Republic and Gap Outlet) is the Gap Give and Get weekend, 30% off entire purchase (I don’t have an online code for this, but email me if you need the printable reusable instore one)
Janie and Jack Friends & Family sale, 25% off entire purchase (use “JJFAMILY” online)
Crazy 8 Friends & Family sale, 25% off entire purchase (use “C8FRIEND” or “C8FAMILY” online)
So, you would think that Gymboree would be having their sale as well, but as I said, time will tell.
In researching the “fill-a-bag” cancellation rumors, I ran accross a website for a big shopping center in Ohio called Crocker Park. It lists it’s stores and their promos for the month, and low and behold! Gymboree’s fill-a-bag is definitely being advertised as a current promo for March 18-21. Obviously nothing with Gymboree is written in stone, but the fact that they notified the mall management of the sale is promising!
ooooooh, the plot thickens!!!
they do of course love to “hide” behind the fact that they reserve the right to cancel or change ANYTHING at ANY TIME *sigh*
but thanks for sharing that cool find
Ok, so I asked very politely at a local Gymboree in Sea Girt NJ if they were having the Fill-a-bag sale this weekend and I got a very curt response of “We currently are not scheduled to have the Fill-a-bag sale this weekend.” Hopefully she was wrong…
Fill a Bag is cancelled…but rumors of awesome Spring Break deals start tomorrow! These are basically like the “Jingle Deals” and will change every week!
nice post. thanks.
