Shoppers on the first two days get a bonus. The first 100 customers over age 18 on August 28 and August 29 receive a $10 Bonus Card toward their purchase.

• Beauty and fragrance
• Baby items
• Pet products

New stock arrives weekly, and prices run up to 60 percent off other retailers. The Queensbury store also features Burlington's newer layout, with wider aisles and updated signage.

Glens Falls Lands on WorldAtlas List of Adirondack Favorites

Glens Falls is getting some national attention. WorldAtlas recently included the city among 12 Adirondack Mountain towns ranked as U.S. favorites in 2026.

While Glens Falls technically sits just outside the Adirondack Park border, its location has long earned it a reputation as a southern gateway to the Adirondacks. WorldAtlas highlighted the city's easy access to Lake George, ski areas, and other destinations farther north.

The article also points to several attractions that give Glens Falls its own appeal. Cooper's Cave, The Hyde Collection, and the historic architecture found throughout the Three Squares Historic District all received mentions.

Local events add another reason to visit. WorldAtlas cited concerts, community gatherings, and the annual Adirondack Balloon Festival among the experiences that draw people to the Glens Falls area throughout the year.

Glens Falls joined destinations including Lake George, Lake Placid, Wilmington, Ticonderoga, Tupper Lake, and Saranac Lake on the 2026 list. For a city just beyond the Blue Line, that's another reminder of how closely Glens Falls is connected to the Adirondack experience.
