Grizzly Industrial is excited to announce the highly anticipated return of it’s legendary Tent Sale to Springfield, Missouri. After a five-year hiatus, Grizzly is thrilled to bring this event back to the community.
This iconic event, which in past years has attracted thousands of woodworking and metalworking enthusiasts from across the country, promises to be bigger than ever this year with the addition of a second full day of activities including demonstrations by industry experts, and a special presentation from the stars of NPR’s popular woodworking series Woodsmith TV.
The centerpiece of the weekend event will be the Grizzly Tent Sale. Over 38,000 sq. ft. of tent space will offer amazing deals on hundreds of “as-is” and “scratch-and-dent” tools and machines. “We ship hundreds of wood and metalworking machines every business day,” explains Grizzly General Manager Jack Blackburn. “Inevitably, some get damaged in the process. These are often minor blemishes or small imperfections. We can’t sell them as new, but for anyone who is willing to make the repairs themselves or put up with a few dents and scratches, this is an amazing opportunity to outfit your shop with quality tools at a bargain price.”
The Grizzly Tent Sale will take place on September 14th in the parking lot of the Grizzly Industrial warehouse at 1815 West Battlefield Road in Springfield, Missouri. The sale kicks off at 8:30 AM and concludes at 3 PM, and early arrival is strongly recommended.
Because so many Grizzly enthusiasts do show up before the weekend for the big event, Grizzly has added on a “Customer Appreciation Day” on Friday, September 13th. The event will feature several product demonstrations from industry experts including Logan Wittmer and Phil Huber. Logan is the Editor in Chief of Popular Woodworking Magazine, and together with Phil, they host the popular NPR show Woodsmith TV.
The September 13th Customer Appreciation event will be hosted in the 36,000 sq. ft. Grizzly Superstore and Showroom, also located at the corner of Battlefield Street and South Kansas Expressway. Doors open at 8:30AM and demonstrations will take place throughout the day along with in-store only discounts, door prizes, giveaways, and other activities. The showroom is open until 6 pm both days.
Grizzly Industrial is a leading national retailer of machinery, accessories and supplies for Woodworkers and Metalworkers. The Grizzly Springfield Showroom is open to the public Monday through Saturday. For more info, go to: grizzly.com/event/tent-sale-2024
