The business, named after Rose's great-grandmother and the original founder, has been a trademark in the Twin Cities for decades.
"The Rosenthal family business has not only survived but it has flourished over the past 128 years. That is no small feat and we cannot thank our patrons enough for their incredible support," said Rosenthal.
The 25,000 square feet of merchandise will be significantly discounted. Shoppers can also expect to see 65% off all area rugs and 50% off accessories. Management encourages early shopping as selection is limited.
