9 mega-deals we found at going-out-of-business sale

By Allegra Czerwinski, Staff Writer

The news that the Flower Factory on Miamisburg-Centerville Road in Washington Township will close its doors is sad for Dayton-area bargain-hunters, that's for sure. The Ohio-chain is going out of business, according to our news partners Dayton Daily News.

While it’s never pleasant to hear that a business must close, the only bright side for shoppers is the possibility of great going out of business deals.

Signs that read, “Everything must go” adorn the aisles, and there are massive savings to be had throughout.

A firm date has not been established for the store’s closing, but the deals certainly are under way. Here are some of the best we found on a trip to Flower Factory late last week:

Deals, of course, are subject to change, as is stock availability. But we wanted to share what we spotted on our recent trip to give you an idea what you might find yourself.
