Bjorn's Uses Texas Tax-Free Holiday Weekend as In-Store Sales Lure

San Antonio-based AV retailer Bjorn’s planned a weekend sale to ride the coattails of Texas’ sales tax holiday weekend Aug. 7-9. The tax-free promotion was good only on select items bought in store and those that didn’t have pre-existing sale pricing, a store representative told us. The optional sales tax holiday for the Aug. 7-9 weekend varied by state for computers ranging from $750 to $3,500 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Mexico and Tennessee, said taxadmin.org.
