Carolyn Sullens and grandson Landon, 7, walk through Office-Max on Monday in search of back-to-school items. The tax-free weekend is this Friday and Saturday, when back-to-school items will be sold without sales tax added.
Georgia’s tax-free weekend is Friday and Saturday, and retailers and families alike are gearing up for the rush to get back-to-school supplies. Gainesville retailers such as Target, Wal-Mart and OfficeMax have already started sales on specific items for students of all ages. “Our stores are fully stocked for the entire back-to-school shopping season; so we are ready for the tax-free shopping weekend,” OfficeMax spokeswoman Julianne Embry said.
