Highland Square's newest resident is A.J. Wright, a leading off-price retailer offering significant values on authentic brand name family apparel and footwear, accessories, home essentials, giftware, toys and more, all at up to 70 percent off discount and chain store prices. Beginning Thursday, Nov. 6, 2008 at 9:00 a.m., A.J. Wright will open its doors at 934 Dunn Ave., Jacksonville, Fla. 32218.

The grand opening will feature several unique promotions for Jacksonville residents in attendance. The first 100 store visitors will receive a $20 gift card, and there will be an open casting call for aspiring fashion models.

"We invite shoppers to join us for this special event and experience first-hand the great deals and amazing fashions that A.J. Wright offers," said Clair. "This event not only includes the free gift card giveaway, but also an exciting search for the newest faces of A.J. Wright."

The casting call will run from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. A.J. Wright customers will model their favorite look at a fashion photo shoot at the store. The winner may be featured as a model in an A.J. Wright advertisement, and will receive $250, as well as the clothes they modeled.

A.J. Wright store hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The store will remain open until 10 p.m. on Thursday to accommodate grand opening shoppers.
