Shopping: Harrods Sale. The "top peoples"store started their summer sale today
Shopping: Harrods Sale. The " top peoples" store started their summer sale today (Friday) - a day sooner than usual. And shoppers showed that whatever the store is always " first come, first served" in the race for a bargain. Harrods brought the opening day forward to Friday this year, in an attempt to avoid the usual Saturday crush. However, they are still anticipating a record crowd today and tomorrow, and have taken on an extra 2000 staff to help cope over these two days. The mad rush in the china Department. July 1981

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the frenzy and excitement of the Harrods Summer Sale in July 1981. Known as the "top peoples" store, Harrods decided to kick off their sale a day earlier than usual, hoping to alleviate the Saturday rush. However, eager shoppers proved that when it comes to snagging a bargain, it's always "first come, first served". The image showcases a bustling scene in the china department, with customers eagerly searching for deals amidst stacks of fine porcelain. The energy is palpable as people jostle and compete for coveted items at discounted prices. It is evident that this event has become more than just shopping; it resembles a sport or competition. Anticipating record-breaking crowds over two days, Harrods took on an additional 2000 staff members to ensure smooth operations during this shopping extravaganza. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the final moments before shoppers make their purchases - frantic yet determined faces can be seen throughout. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints' collection, we are transported back to London in the early 1980s – an era defined by action-packed scenes and vibrant consumer culture. Whether you were there experiencing it firsthand or simply observing from afar, this image serves as a reminder of how even prestigious stores like Harrods can ignite such fervor among shoppers seeking unbeatable deals.
