Veterans Day is a day to honor those who have served and given their life for our country’s freedom. The Arc Stores in Chico, Paradise and Oroville want to truly thank all of the veterans that have served for our country. Without individuals like you, we wouldn’t have the country that we do.

If you are a veteran—Thank You.

Thank you from The Arc Stores in Chico, Paradise and Oroville and all of our employees. Here at The Arc Store we would like to honor those who are actively serving as well as retired veterans with 25% off non-sale items on Monday and Tuesday, Nov 9th & 10th at our Chico and Paradise locations, and Tuesday Nov 10th at our Oroville location. We will be closed on Wednesday in honor of Veterans Day.

Here’s a list of other companies that want to thank you by providing a discount or free meal: 2015 Veterans Day Free Meals and Discounts 

Here are a few examples of discounts in our area:  Read More Thank You And Happy Veterans Day From The Arc Stores
