Make a killing in Spanish has the meaning of discount.
Rebajas is a synonymous of remates.
1.- La tienda de ropa tuvo remates (Rebajas) durante agosto.
2.- La tienda de ropa hizo una fortuna durante la temporada de rebajas. (Remates)
Second one is better :)

They sound great to me :) "Make a killing" is when you make a lot of money in a short time.
You can also say:
- La tienda de ropa hizo un dineral durante las rebajas.
DINERAL means a lot of money :)
Hope this helps u!

@ArturoAxcel Thank you. A site I check daily (Spanish idiom of the Day) had "hacer su agosto" as a phrase that means "make a killing." Maybe these are idioms from Spain?
In English, "make a killing" means to make a lot -- usually a surprising amount -- of money.

Thank you for the new idiom! I try to use this website (https://www.123teachme.com/spanish_feeds/idiom_...) as part of my self-study program (reviewing it and writing sentences using the phrases), but sometimes,the phrases seem odd (which is what most idioms seem if we translate them literally!).

Speaking of idioms, SpanishDict says "hacer su agosto" means "to line one's pockets."
- Spanish (Mexico)
Honestly I haven't ever heard "hacer su agosto"
I'd go with the 2nd one or as the other person said you can say "un dineral" as well

@HanyuuFurude Yeah, that's the trouble with idioms -- they may not be universal. But I'm still learning by doing this exercise. Using the daily idiom gives me a structure to my independent study. -- Thanks so much for your feedback!
