BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Hundreds of deeply discounted appliances supplied by Whirlpool Corporation will be on sale to the public in a special two-day event benefiting two area United Ways.
The sale will be taking place from December 11 – 12.
Major appliances such as ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers, washers and dryers from Whirlpool Corporation’s brand portfolio will be available at significant savings.
That brand portfolio includes Whirlpool, Maytag and KitchenAid.
A biannual event in Benton Harbor, the sale will benefit both United Way of the Battle Creek and Kalamazoo Region (UWBCKR) and United Way of Southwest Michigan (UWSM).
The two nonprofits are partnering with Whirlpool Corporation to bring the sale to Battle Creek for the first time.
Battle Creek Unlimited is providing the space at McCamly Place near Festival Market Square, located at 25 McCamly Street South.
“We’re grateful for this unique partnership that allows us to offer valuable savings on major household appliances – purchases that can put a strain on a tight household budget, particularly for financially struggling families in our communities,” president & CEO of UWBCKR Chris Sargent said in a statement. “Additionally, the proceeds gained from the sale will be invested back into our local communities for maximum impact.”
All products purchased must be picked up during sale hours.
For an additional $100 donation per appliance, home deliveries will be available within a 30-mile radius. Payment must be cash or credit card, as no checks will be accepted.
There will be no early sales.
“Shoppers can expect to experience significant savings on incredible new appliances while making a difference in communities across Southwest Michigan,” Whirlpool Corporation’s global IT director Gokul Nair said in a statement.
The appliance sale happens during the following times:
- Saturday, December 11, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
- Sunday, December 12, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Masks and social distancing will be required during this event.
