Tax-Free Weekend is basically our Olympics here at Shop Across Texas. Every year, we make lists, research product reviews, and scout for the biggest deals. If you’re looking to make the most out of Tax-Free Weekend, then Allen, Texas is the place to be. Whether you’re looking for back-to-school basics, college essentials, new wardrobe picks, or all of the above, Allen’s shopping scene is one of the best in the state.
Most clothing and footwear like jeans, dresses, jackets, suits, and robes are included in the weekend deal. The big exceptions are any product with a $100+ price tag, all accessories, athletic clothing, and bags. Check out more tax-free weekend tips or explore the Texas Comptroller’s website to see the specifics on what’s exempt and what’s taxable.
Start your weekend at the Village at Allen with classic retailers like Burlington, Best Buy, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Macy’s Backstage, Ross Dress for Less, Target, TJ Maxx, and Uptown Cheapskate. Across the street, you won’t want to miss the Allen Premium Outlets with 100+ brands you know and love–all at unbelievable discounts! We’re talking Vans, Vineyard Vines, Nike, Levis, GAP, Forever21… we could go on forever. There’s something for everyone in your family so prepare to spend a bulk of your day here.
After you’ve found the best deals in town, head over to Watters Creek to grab a bite to eat, shop a bit more, and take in a bit of serenity with weekly live music performances and a large lawn and playground for the kiddos.
