Pottery Barn Outlet

Oh ya, we always stop at the pottery in Birchrun on the way up north. Wow, tons of sales all over the store. 50% off on kitchen towels, table scape sets, bath items, candles and glass ware. All Fall decorating displays through out the store. We left with our arms loaded. So much cheaper than the regular stores, for the same products.

Great sale going on! Friendly service despite crazy busy with people! We will be back once We buy a house!!!

A nice, big store with lots of kitchen/​tabletop items, as well as home décor, linens and furniture, but not a lot in the way of bargains.
Don’t get misled into thinking the prices are reduced all that much from traditional retail. It’s on the expensive side considering that this store is an outlet. Among the best bargains are kitchen/​dining items. I prefer the Pottery Barn line of glassware, serveware and cocktail accessories. The prices on those items at this outlet aren’t bad at all, probably the best of all in the store.
I watch like a hawk for their clearance sticker items. Recently, I picked up some nice margarita glasses for a few bucks apiece here, plus some highballs for practically nothing, but that’s more of a rarity than a regular occurrence. Bedding is way too pricey and you can snag better bargains elsewhere. The bedding is beautiful and high quality, but no bargain.
Forget about customer service– there isn’t any. If you need help reaching something up high, it’s going to take awhile to get a sales associate or manager to respond.

DAG, YO. This place is now half a William Sonoma outlet. Be still my baker heart!
Now, to be fair, the prices on a lot of the items are not all that much lower from the store. However, they had bangin’ sales today for the holidays and I saved beaucoup bucks on gifts and treats for myself. For example: All food? 40% off. Pasta sauces, spreads, olive oils, baking mixes, etc. It was amazing. I stocked up on the fancy baking chocolate I use. I had just actually gone to their Briarwood mall location (non outlet) to get some a few days prior and paid full price. Curses! But now I have more than a few boxes to last for months!
All holiday treats? 50% off. The hot chocolate that I long for every time I go in, the marshmallows, the Hammond’s peppermints, the peppermint bark, the caramels, etc etc. All of it 50% off. Merry Christmas, friends! You’re all getting hot chocolate! Electronics? 30% off. Kitchen Aid mixer attachments, coffee makers, bread machines, etc etc. Baking pans? 40% off. Kitchen equipment? 40% off. My fella bought me a Zoku super cheap. Popsicles for everyone! Pots and pans? 30−60% off. I bought a big $ 100 frying pan/​griddle for just $ 40. Ahh! Yes, I spent quite a bit of money but it was a steal compared to what I would have paid at the regular store. So sexy.
The Pottery Barn side is half kids (bedding, toys, furniture, etc) and half regular Pottery Barn. They carry seasonal decorations, throw blankets and pillows, rugs, dishes, candles, picture frames, etc. All the stuff regular Pottery Barn carries but slightly lower than the main locations. Without a sale it’s not really a bargain but if you can catch them on a sale. Oh man! Party.
Now, I can’t be sure that they’ll have these sales often but it’s worth joining a mailing list or keeping an eye on the Birch Run website for specials/​sales. Especially if you have gourmands or domestics in your life that you’d like to stock up on gifts for, or if you like to collect these things for yourself.

I have been trying to make it to a Pottery Barn outlet for a couple of years, so I was excited to finally be close enough to stop in one. Well, let me say that for the most part, there were no bargains to be had there. I swear the stuff was expensive as in their regular store. I found some things like dining room tables and headboards that were cheaper, but $ 17.99 for one white pillowcase? Just glad I didn’t waste the gas driving a long distance to get to it!
