Massive July 4th Sale at Wesley’s Wholesale
What does it mean to be an American? What are some of the
ideals cherished by the so-called Land of Opportunity?
~~~~~
Let’s rewind a bit, 242 years to be exact. On July 4, 1776,
the Declaration of Independence was ratified by the forefathers of the United States
of America, proclaiming that “all men are created equal” and that they are
endowed with inalienable rights among which are “life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness.”
These premises form the basis of the American
dream, the profound belief that everyone has the opportunity to prosper and
succeed, regardless of social class or circumstances of birth. Every year on
July 4th, Americans celebrate Independence Day and more importantly
a moral standard to which the United States should strive. This year will be no
exception (even if POTUS’ questionable policies are in blatant contempt of the
American dream. The system will eventually correct itself, right?!)
In happy tribute to
America’s most reverenced holiday, Wesley’s Wholesale – a microcosm of the
American shopping experience in Lebanon – is hosting an unbeatable five days of
sale in “go big or go home” fashion, and judging by the size of its many bulk
products, it’s going to be big, big, BIG! Beginning Wednesday July 4th
through Sunday July 8th, nearly 250 items will be slashed for deep
savings of up to 70% off listed prices.
Want some concrete examples? Let’s start in the kitchen,
with a 7-piece Prestige block knife set on offer for LBP 39,500 ($26) down from
LBP 59,000 ($39). Tramontina steak knives (12-ct.) are reduced from LBP 89,000
($59) to LBP 51,000 ($34). Everything from Anolon pan sets to Circulon saucepans
and stock pots will be sporting trim price tags. Since it is barbecue season, why
not snatch up a Nexgrill tabletop gas BBQ (LBP 280,000/$187) or ColemanRoadtrip X-Cursion (LBP 424,000/$283) while prices are sizzling?
Pantry items are ablaze, too. Stokes Chili Ketchup, Vlasic HomestyleSweet Relish and Sauerkraut, Star sliced jalapenos, Red Robin Camp Fire BBQ sauce – in short, the perfect garnishes to the iconic Independence Day hamburger
or hot dog – are on promotion! Snack on Sensible Portions Veggie Straws, Gardenof Eatin’ organic chips, Torres Sparkling Wine chips, and Terra veggie crisps
also on special. Wash the lot down with Arizona Iced Tea (only $1 per 16-oz. bottle)
or Old Mout Cider (500-ml for $1.70).

Who said you can only nab Toblerone chocolate bars inside
airports? You’ll find them cheaper at Wesley’s than in duty free, at LBP
5,500 ($3.70) per 360-g bar. Anthon Berg’s liqueur-filled chocolate sets are
half off at LBP 17,500 ($11.70), while strawberry champagne patties are one-third their retail price, at LBP 7,700 ($5.10). All chocolate (not including
Orange Label) is 50% off!

Calling all serial cereal consumers in the house! Kellogg’s
decadent Extra Chocolate granola is on sale, as are Quaker variety packs,
Jordan’s granola (50% off the entire brand!), Alpen Muesli, Bear Naked Maple
Pecan Granola, Dorset Organic Muesli, General Mills Honey Nut Chex, Bob’s RedMill Granola, and Weetabix Crispy Minis. That’s a bunch of crunch in your munch,
but a morning pick-me-up (aka Folgers Classic Roast coffee or Member's Mark French Vanilla Cappuccino) should dull the jaw soreness.
There’s literally something for everybody. Athletes, don’t
overlook the protein bars, namely Rxbar, Quest Bar, and Kirkland Signature,
as well as Body Glide anti-chafing sticks and balms (half-off!) for everyday
use. Aspiring bakers, gather up Duncan Hines cake mixes paired with ready-made
creamy chocolate frosting, and how about a drizzle of Mike's Hot Honey for a fiery kick! Just succumb to the fact that DIY won’t fetch you a
worthy ROI this time.

While you’re scaling Wesley’s megastore for these incredible
bargains, head to the refrigerated aisles for summer’s favorite treat – ice cream!
– in the form of Halo Top, Ben & Jerry’s, and other prominent brands.
Vegans, fret not, as you’ll unearth a plethora of dairy-free, plant-based options
suitable for your lifestyle, and I don’t exclusively mean ice cream. Start with shelves upon shelves of Pacific Foods products, which will quickly become your
bread and dairy-free butter (okay, I tried!), what with beverages spanning almond, hemp,
hazelnut, cashew, soy, rice, oat, and coconut.

I’m out of breath, but trust me, you need to hop in-store to
inspect the promotions yourself; there’s really no substitute. Plus, indulge in
free samples daily, featuring the likes of Sangria Lolea (on sale, too!) and
Daou wines at Orange Label in Hazmieh.
Get a taste of the American dream, that unchecked license to
live free, be happy, and enjoy spectacular sales coupled with pleasurable
shopping experiences. After all, no one does it better than the Americans. They
practically invented the sale!
