***For information about the Winter 2015 sale, go here!***
So how do I know that it’s spring time in Pittsburgh? No it’s not because the snow has finally stopped. And it’s not because it’s baseball season. Heck it’s not even because I’ve finally been able to pack away my winter coat. Nope I know it’s spring time in the ‘burgh because it’s times for All-Clad’s spring Factory Sale!!! You see twice a year All-Clad has what’s called their ‘Factory Sale’; once before Christmas and one at the end of May/early June. This year All-Clad’s Factory Sale is June 5th and 6th 2015 so mark your calendars, schedule vacation time and start saving up!
You see the Factory Sale is where their stuff that they either have too much of, has been discontinued or deemed irregular is sold at huge discounted prices. They come fully back with All-Clad’s warranty. Now the whole ‘irregular’ may cause concern but trust me, there is NO CONCERN! There may be a blemish – small scratch, logo off-center, something that causes it for the big department stores to not want to sell it. In no way shape or form does it lack in quality or performance.
I’ve been posting about these sales for years plus sharing it all over Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest you all know I have a deep love for All-Clad. More importantly I have respect for them and their superior product.

♥Things to know:

ο Bring a friend and a bag to carry all of your stuff!
ο There is no better day to go though if there is something you really want, it’s best to go on Friday morning as items sell out fast.
οThe past few times people started lining up pretty early (like 6am) but I go later in the afternoon and there is always a boat load of product left.
ο What is so awesome about this sale is that throughout the entire 2-day sale, the wonderful folks of All-Clad keep replenishing the products.
ο If you buy more than your vehicle can fit (trust me, you will buy and buy and buy!) in the past they have offered UPS shipping.
ο The sale is in-person only; no online ordering. Take the trip and visit – Pittsburgh is GORGEOUS this time of year and it truly is a site to see!
ο The All-Clad employees that work at this event are SUPER nice and extremely helpful!
ο They have recently had a few shopping carts for people to use. If they are being used they do provide heavy boxes that you can either pull around or carry.
ο If this is your first time going, be prepared to be amazed!
ο There will easily be 150k-200k people who will flow through this event.
ο If you’re going and they have their 20 qrt stock pot.. leave it, it’s mine! I NEED it! *wink*

Hi, Call me crazy but I’m excited to come tomorrow to buy a Rowenta iron and ironing board! Would you comment on the availability and pricing of Rowenta and Krups products or any other brands that are represented?
Thanks a million!
Hi Beth!
LOL hey no judging here though um… what’s an iron? LOL I have one and I think *I’ve* used it 3 times in my life. Mr. Fantabulous is in charge of ironing clothes. Judging by all of the past sales I would lean towards there being those items there – at least the iron. I cannot recall seeing an ironing board there ever though. I hope they have more krups stuff as I need a new convection counter top oven.
I’ll be at the sale after 12:30 on Friday. If you’re there, ask some of the folks where I am as I’ll be bopping around.
Best Kitchen Wishes!
Thanks for the reply. We plan to be there around 10am, I’ll be the one with the ironing board!! ???
So I’m at the sale yesterday Beth and I see this woman pushing her car with the iron and ironing board in it. I go up to her ask her if her name is Beth and she says no. I chuckled and told her about your comment about the iron and board as well. She said “OMG I love these both! I’m getting these for Christmas presents!”
Did you get yours?
Ha! So sorry I missed you 🙁 I guess I wasn’t the only one! Yes I was excited to get an iron and the ironing board and the hand steamer. I should have stopped there but also got a couple of copper core and d5 pieces from the clearance table. We had a blast!
Thank you for the tips!
*** UPDATE***
The December 2015 All-Clad sale will be Thursday, December 4th and Friday, December 5th. A new post will be coming soon!!!

Do they have multi-piece cookware set as well at the sale?
Typically, the items found at the sale are all individual items (a la carte). This is due to the fact that sets are already discounted from the individual retail price and considering the factory sale boasts savings of an additional 40-70%, it would be cost prohibitive. However, there have been sightings of sets from time to time. It is rare, but sometimes there are some old discontinued stock that they may find during physical inventory (thinking of old Cop R Chef or LTD, etc). My suggestion would be to get there early on the first day. If they have sets for sale, this is when you would find them. As one would imagine, offerings like that disappear within the first few minutes of the sale. Lastly, the inventory presented at the sale is mostly 2nds and is predicated on the manufacturing demand and fallout of those production runs where product doesn’t meet All-Clad’s quality standards. This doesn’t mean that the product is inferior, it just means that there may be a scratch, ding or handle alignment issue. These issues are purely cosmetic and do not affect performance. It’s just that All-Clad cookware and accessories are top of the mark and for the discerning consumer who pays the premium price, will demand perfection.
Good luck!
Hi Gibson!
Typically they do have one or two different types of multi-piece sets however the amount of sets they have on hand have pales in comparison to the amount of individual pieces. If your heart is set on a full set my advice is to get there early however you can also build your own set while you’re there.
Plus they will have coming up prior to the sale (as well as afterwards) a V.I.P. online sale that I’ll be posting about as well for those that are either unable to attend the sale in person or something they had their heart set on was out of stock.

Hi Kathy/Ken,
Based on prior planning, the sales always ran the first weekend in June/December. There were one or two sales where they deviated from this convention but if you registered via attending previous sales or on their website you should get a post card outlining the upcoming sale date.
Good luck!
Thanks Todd 🙂
Do you still go to the sales? If so, let me know as I’d love to meet hi and say hi!
Best Kitchen Wishes!
Please notify of the next All CLad sale –I have never been to the sale–Thank you
Hi Ken!
I should be hearing from All-Clad this week about the dates of the Fall sale. As I was telling someone above, if it falls like it has in the past, it’s typically the last weekend in November/first weekend in December.
Definitely make sure you subscribe to my site this way you won’t miss out on the notification!
Best Kitchen Wishes!
