The promotion, scheduled for the Saturday before the state’s annual tax-free weekend, offers cards ranging from $20 to $100. By timing the giveaway with the back-to-school rush, the retailer aims to drive foot traffic across its 117 Texas stores. Customers can apply these credits toward a wide array of inventory, including Nike footwear, Herschel backpacks, and fall sports equipment like Riddell helmets and Battle shoulder pads.

Beyond the one-day giveaway, the company is positioning its stores as a comprehensive destination for seasonal shopping. The retailer continues to emphasize its price-match policy, which guarantees a 5% discount on competitor prices, alongside its loyalty programs and credit offerings. These initiatives are designed to capture regional consumer spending by combining immediate promotional value with long-term savings programs for back-to-school essentials.
