Art Van Furniture will issue a full refund for customers who shopped on Saturday at its six Chicago locations, if one condition is met: Winter Storm Linus must drop at least 3 inches of snow on Chicagoland between 12:01 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday, according to ABC Chicago.

As of Sunday morning, O'Hare International Airport has already received 6 inches of snow, meaning Art Van will have to pony up their end of the bargain.

The deal is part of a winter promotion the furniture retailer devised, which promises a full refund for customers who purchase items on specific days, granted the snowfall condition is met, WGN-TV reported.

Art Van Furniture owner Rick Cote’s prospect of the probable refund is not at all what a person would expect. Cote told WGN, “Believe it or not, we’re excited about it. We want our customers to get free furniture!”

Weather.com meteorologist Chrissy Warrilow says that the furniture store should get ready to pay up.

"Forecast models suggest that 3 inches of snow will fall within the first 6 hours of the promotional period," said Warrilow.

"In fact, from midnight Sunday to midnight Monday, nearly 10 inches of snow is expected in the western portions of Chicagoland, while downtown Chicago may pick up as much as a foot of snow."

This isn’t the first time Art Van has run the “Let It Snow” promotion. The retailer promised the same generous deal on New Year’s Day, the Chicago Tribune reported. Customers who took advantage of the promotion Jan.1 and Jan. 17 purchased around $2 million worth of merchandise , hoping for Super Bowl Snow, and the retailer expects to pay the full amount, said Art Van Director of Corporate Communications Diane Charles.
