Advertisements and Contractual Offers
Wanda owns a hair salon and places an advertisement in a local newspaper stating that all haircuts for the week will cost $5. Due to an overwhelming response, Wanda ends the promotion after the 50th customer. When Joan arrives expecting a $5 haircut, Wanda informs her that the sale has ended and she must pay the standard $30 price. Can Joan successfully sue Wanda for breach of contract?
ANo, because Wanda received no consideration for her offer to reduce the price.
BNo, because Wanda's advertisement does not constitute a contractual offer.
CNo, because Wanda fulfilled her contractual obligation after serving 50 customers.
DYes, because Wanda's advertisement was sufficiently specific to constitute a contractual offer.
