President’s Day

President’s Day began as a celebration of George Washington, the first Commander in Chief that led colonists to victory in the Revolution, oversaw the Constitutional Convention and served two terms as our fledgling nation’s first president. Over time, the celebration included Abraham Lincoln. The man who held this country together as the secession threateaned to tear it apart while he apparently fought vampires. While eventually the meaning of President’s day has evolved to encompass the office of the Presidency and all who hold it, these two men still embody the spirit of the holiday with their values of patriotism, sacrifice and great deals on bedroom furniture.


"I cannot tell a lie. You shan't pay any interest on this desk until February 2013!"




Today we honor George Washington, who rallied the Continental troops after a series of devastating defeats from the British showing that we would settle for nothing less than independence and 50% off red tag items at Kohls.


We honor Abraham Lincoln, who fought for the ideal that all men, black and white, should be free from the slavery of a down payment on a new Kia.


We honor all Presidents, past and present, who hold the highest office in America and offer the lowest prices on power tools at JC Penny.
