Three Years Later, Billy Reid Brings the Warehouse Sale Back to Deep Ellum. Like, Now.

Three long years ago the frugally fashionable bid farewell to the Billy Reid corporate offices on Canton, which adiosed to Alabama with one last warehouse-purging sale offering Best-of-Dallas-winning bargains. After that the sale moved to its NorthPark Center shoppe, and things were never the same; and now, of course, the outlet dispensing Reid ware has moved to Highland Park Village. Haven't been in a long while.

But Dave Gates, longtime store director for the Art Institute of Dallas-studying Reid's local location, sent word a few days ago: The 75-percent-and-more-off sale has returned to the old Deep Ellum HQ, last used to house The Good Guys offices, beginning in mere moments -- 9 a.m., which is why there's probably a line outside already. Said the Houston imports brought in to help stock the 3720 Canton Street warehouse with men's and women's goodies, their recent warehouse purging was "madness, sheer madness" -- a month's worth of sales made in just three days, as this runs till Saturday.

Out and about last night I stopped by to watch the setting-up, because, and I may or may not have hidden a pair of boots somewhere for an afternoon stop-by. More photos on the other side, along with the details.

The sale begins this morning at 9 and runs till 7 p.m.; same hours tomorrow. Saturday, it's 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. But by then, you may be too late. And ... go.

I used to live right across the street from here, and had no idea what the hell it was.  Sounds like I may or may not be missing a damn fine sale due to work.  Then again, I might feel a migraine coming on....

Now that I look at the picture, that's not the place I was thinking of.  I got it confused with the Bill Reed Decorations building across the street (the one with the flagpoles), which I presume is still there.

Paul Morgan bought the old Bill Reed building and extensively upgraded it for photography studios, along with wedding venues w/concierge parking.  He did a great job on that building.  Wilonsky ought to get a walk-thru and do a write-up.  It's a big operation and way cool.  He flies models from all over Europe to do photo shoots.  And the wedding receptions are 1st class deals.
