Madewell's Official Grand Opening Will Be Feted With Freebies

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Because you can never have too much advance notice of a freebie, set a reminder in your phone: Madewell's new, Philadelphia store has an official opening date of Tuesday, October 15, only a few weeks behind schedule (the sister brand of J.Crew had originally planned to be open in September.)

The 1716 Walnut Street store (formerly Arden B.) will debut with a grand opening celebration that promises discounts and giveaways. With every purchase, shoppers will be gifted a complimentary polka dot clutch, and the first 100 shoppers will receive a mystery gift card in an amount anywhere between $10 and $500. Arrive between 10am and 5pm to take advantage of the freebies, and use the hashtag #madewellphilly when bragging about your scores.
