The streets of West Hartford Center will be jumping on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the annual Center Days. Most of the merchants extend their businesses onto the sidewalk, and great savings are to be found on virtually everything – from clothing, to accessories, to home decor.
“‘Shop, Dine and Stroll’ during our annual West Hartford Center Days!” said West Hartford Center Business Association President Barbara Karsky.
“There will be so many special items discounted for quick sales … you won’t believe your eyes,” Karsky, the co-owner of BK&Co, said.
BK&Co is actually starting their sale a day early, on Wednesday from 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. with a tent sale. Karsky said it is one of their biggest sales of the year with 10 percent off all full-priced merchandise, an additional 25 percent off all sale and new markdowns (up to 80 percent off original), and 30 percent off handbags. BK&Co. will also have a $20 pants sale rack, South Pacific semi-precious jewelry sample sale, Art of Cloth and Testimony Sample sale, and will give away a free Pandora ring with the purchase of two rings.
DeRobertis Jewelers is offering 50 percent off select fine jewelry, and will also have a “bead blowout” with all beads (yes, they fit those “famous” bracelets) on sale for $8.50.
On Saturday, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., Iris Photography will hand out $100 gift certificates for family photography. From 10 a.m. – noon, Iris Photography will also host “Grace’s Birthday Bake Sale,” a bake sale by one of their client’s daughters to benefit “No Kid Hungry.”

The Silver Dahlia has savings of 75 percent and more on clearance items. Many Vineyard Vines and Sloane Ranger items are 50 percent off.
Face Rx MD will be giving away free “Sun Lover’s Therapy” with every HydraFacial purchase. The Sun Lover’s Thereapy includes a cooling green tea (exhibits photo protective effect) mask that makes dark and dull skin bright and provides extra hydration plus LED light treatment to increase production of new collagen.
There are many other great deals to be had, and when you have finished shopping and strolling, Karsky said not to forget that the Center has a great selection of food and drink with many restaurants offering special summertime menus.
