A store spokesman said everyone is welcome and customers do not need special invitations that were mailed out last weekend.

The Tinley store opened 10 years ago.

Plass began a liquidation sale last month at its Arlington Heights location.

The spokesman said the company’s remaining five locations would remain open as usual after the Tinley store closes.
