All-Clad Factory Sale: Summer 2010
All-Clad’s factory is located in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Twice a year, on the first weekend in June and December, All-Clad holds a factory seconds sale at the Washington County Fair and Expo Center.
The 2010 summer sale is Friday, June 4th and Saturday June 5th. Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Here’s the link to the location of the sale: Washington County Fair and Expo Center.
This is about a two hour drive from the Akron area. You get prices from 40% to 70% off on factory seconds. In most cases, the damage is just cosmetic; a little scratching on the stainless, or a lid handle that’s a bit offset from center.
They have most of their line of cookware available, but not all, and some favorites (like the 12″ stainless fry pan, and its lid) are hard to find. Overall, though, it’s an amazing value. Make sure you get there early – there can be up to an hour wait to get into the sale.
*I’m guessing there will be a lot of their older, non-D5 cookware at good discounts. I won’t be there – I’m giving my cooking demo at the Howe Meadow Farmers Market that day. If you’re going, good luck!

Thank you both for a wonderful post and response. I’ll definitely check it out in December with a very heavy coat.
Mike, thank you for all of your work and valuable information. Really appreciate it!
@Fujo:
Thank you for the detailed summary – it’s great!
Hi. I just had to post something. I searched all the blogs for the 2010 June All Clad Seconds Sale trying to determine if I should make the 4 hour trip from Baltimore. Well, thanks to your site I did. I have no regrets. I wish I could go again today. I like specific information on sales like this so here it is (so you can prepare for the Dec sale):
– Know what you want and what it costs on Ebay, Amazon, WS, Bloomingdales, etc. – BECAUSE, some of the prices were better in the stores. For example, the grill pan was selling for $95 when Bloomindales has had it on sale for the past year for around $49 sometimes less.
– Bring a basket if you decide to buy alot
– Biggest deals were on Copper Core by far. Now, I personally use the regular stainless everyday and think that they are good enough. BUT, at the prices the Copper Core was going for, you just couldn’t beat it! So here is just a taste…most (if not all) Copper Core was 70% off. So, I bought a $445 8 qt stockpot for $133 + $19 lid (small scratches). Sauce pots (CC) went for $73 but they ran out of lids. Chef pans went for $109
-Another big disount was on electrics (I did not buy because I was alone and tired of carrying and pulling everything around) – The prized and coveted $300 7 qt slow cooker aluminum went for $149 and they were selling like crazy. By 11:00 the AC rep said that she was on her 4th pallet. The E-grill went for like $150 I think.
-They had Copper R galore but noone wants to polish now days, right?
– Non-stick was not priced well at all. I could find better deals at WS or Ebay and maybe Bloom’s during their hot sales.
– Utensils were discounted but not enough for me…I can be cheap about some things. Utensils went for $11, some $15. When they go to $5 then I will buy:>)
– Got a LTD 10″ Stir Fry (cute as a button) for $33
– Krups Coffee pots went for $39
So, in summary, I will be back in December as I asked if customers in line (nicest people for the most part) and the sales folks if the discounts are as good in December and they said yes. Only thing is that some of the staff are unfamiliar with the warranty policy. After I had spent over $800 she said that there wasn’t a warranty. Well, because of the blogs, I knew she was wrong. I called All Clad HQ and they said Limited Lifetime warranty, meaning send it back and you will get another second…sounds good to me.
