Store wide sale event
Still think Casey-san's translation is good but I have just come up with something else. 「総力」means 「店を挙げての」 so, how about using the word "store wide"?

: The "event" is only there to boost the word count. It's superfluous in English.

: it's not necesarily annual, but often seasonal, even monthly, similar to 大感謝祭 we often see, a big selling 'event' at variously-scaled stores treating various commodities. -

Comment: "Thanks for the reassuring words. I also hadn't considered "event," but that's better than "festival" in this case. "
