Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and a GTA store is celebrating by giving away 200 free turkeys.

On October 4 and 5, Bobby’s Liquidation Outlet will be giving out 100 turkeys on each day to those who enter the Markham megastore on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors open both days at 10 am.

Besides the turkeys, the outlet will also be giving away men’s ties (to look fancy for that turkey dinner) and disposable cameras to capture the Thanksgiving spirit.

If you haven’t heard of it before, Bobby’s Liquidation Outlet rose from the ashes of a former 150,000-sq-ft, two-storey Sears store last fall. Located at 2900 Steeles Avenue East, it features merchandise in every category that Sears once sold, including clothing, accessories, leather goods, jewelry, toys, bath, bedding, appliances, furniture, kitchenware and home decor items.

“A one-year anniversary is the perfect time to show our appreciation to our customers for their support, and we look forward to sharing the joy of the season with the community,” said Ari Starr, President of Bobby’s Liquidation Outlet.

“Ed Mirvish had a wonderful idea with his highly-anticipated annual Christmas turkey giveaway in downtown Toronto, and now that Honest Ed’s has closed its doors, we at Bobby’s want to help fill that gap – this time for Thanksgiving – and extend the tradition to benefit residents north of Toronto as well.”

Bobby’s Liquidation Outlet’s Thanksgiving event will run from October 4 through to Thanksgiving Day, October 8, but freebies (and turkeys) will be distributed while supplies last.

This should go well with your free pie from The Rolling Pin next week.
