Cars overflowed the parking lot at Levin Furniture's warehouse and backed up along adjacent Fitz Henry Road in South Huntingdon Friday afternoon as patrons flocked to the opening of the company's weekend clearance sale.

Doors opened at 2 p.m. for the first such sale at the location in 12 years.

One witness reported by early evening that traffic headed to the Levin site was backed up to the Smithton exit of Interstate 70, about a mile away, and cars were parked in places along the route to the warehouse.

A neighbor said traffic on Fitz Henry was bumper-to-bumper stretching to the Flying J truck stop and was moving slowly at about 6:30 p.m.

Michelle Lint, a customer service supervisor for Levin, said the company transformed half of the warehouse into a temporary showroom and brought in 300 people from various locations to man the sale.

“We're just having a fantastic day,” she said. “We've sold lots and lot of stuff.”

The sale continues 9-9 Saturday and 11-6 Sunday.
