The sign said, Total Eclipse of the Sun Sale...15% off storewide!  I went shopping at the New Paris Antique Mall in Preble County Ohio the weekend before the big eclipse.  It was deemed 100% coverage in this area and the atmosphere was electric with anticipation.  The coffee shop had live entertainment, food wagons were scheduled to come in and me and my niece chose that Saturday to go antiquing.  Lucky for us, the Antique Mall was celebrating too.  Not only with a big sale, but free popcorn.
