"Bruce sale"?

[Mark Mandel]

While driving along Lancaster Ave. in Phila. yesterday, I saw a store with a
sign on the sidewalk advertising simply "BRUCE", and a couple of blocks
later another sign for "BRUCE SALE". I have no idea what these were about,
nor do I remember what the stores were selling. Google yields nothing
helpful. Does anyone know?
