Many people will be enjoying a day off from school or work because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, and several places appear to be observing ways to bring those enjoying the day off from their usual Monday routine by offering several discounts, sales and offers. 

Several retailers are taking advantage of the federal holiday by offering sales on items throughout stores, in an effort to potentially capitalize on extra traffic from consumers, in addition to cleaning out clearance winter items so new merchandise can become the focus.
