Sell Inventory From a Store Closing
Sell Store Closing Inventory to a Wholesale Buyer
Closing a store or retail location and need to sell the remaining new inventory in bulk?
Big Willy’s Wholesale purchases qualifying new merchandise from retailers, retail chains, franchise operators, distributors, brands, and other businesses throughout the United States.
Instead of moving excess merchandise to another facility or trying to sell every remaining unit individually, you can submit your inventory to our buying team for a bulk purchase evaluation.
We evaluate multiple pallets, full truckloads, and larger inventory positions nationwide.
Who Buys Inventory From Stores That Are Closing?
Businesses closing a retail location often need to move inventory within a specific timeframe.
The merchandise may still be completely new and retail-ready, but continuing to store, transfer, or individually sell every unit can require additional time, labor, transportation, and warehouse space.
Big Willy’s Wholesale provides another option.
We evaluate qualifying new store-closing inventory for direct bulk purchase.
Closing One Retail Location?
You do not need to be closing your entire company to have excess inventory.
Retailers frequently close individual locations as part of normal business operations.
A store may be closed because of a lease expiration, market change, relocation, consolidation, change in retail strategy, or shift toward another sales channel.
If the merchandise from that location is new and unused, our buying team can evaluate it.
Consolidating Multiple Stores?
Retail chains may periodically consolidate locations or reduce their physical footprint.
That can create substantial quantities of excess merchandise across multiple stores or distribution facilities.
Big Willy’s Wholesale can evaluate opportunities involving inventory from multiple locations, regional store closures, retail consolidations, and larger multi-truckload positions.
When inventory is located at several facilities, provide the available quantity at each location.
Retailers: Sell Inventory Instead of Moving It
Transferring inventory from a closing location is not free.
Merchandise may need to be counted, boxed, palletized, transported, received, and restocked somewhere else.
For products that are already overstocked or outside your current assortment, those costs may not make sense.
Selling qualifying merchandise in bulk can help reduce the amount of inventory that needs to be relocated.
What Types of Store Closing Inventory Do We Buy?
Big Willy’s Wholesale evaluates new consumer merchandise across categories including General Merchandise, Beauty & Personal Care, Food & Beverage, Baby, Pet, Household, Electronics, Office & School, Outdoor Gear, Toys, Apparel, Kitchen & Cookware, Disposable Food Service Supplies, PPE & Gloves, and other consumer products.
Products with expiration dates should include accurate dating information when submitted.
We Buy Pallets & Truckloads
Our focus is bulk inventory.
We evaluate:
- Multiple pallets
- Full truckloads
- Multi-truckload opportunities
- Large single-SKU quantities
- Mixed-SKU store inventories
- Inventory located across multiple retail locations
For large mixed inventories, an accurate spreadsheet or inventory manifest can help our buying team evaluate the opportunity faster.
New Merchandise Only
Big Willy’s Wholesale purchases new merchandise only.
We do not purchase customer returns, used products, open-box merchandise, refurbished goods, or reconditioned inventory.
If your store-closing inventory remains new and unused, submit it for consideration.
What Information Should You Send?
For the fastest evaluation, provide the product names, UPCs or SKUs, quantities available, case packs, photos of the actual inventory, warehouse or store location, expiration dates when applicable, asking price, and any resale restrictions.
For mixed inventories, send a spreadsheet or inventory manifest whenever possible.
Most importantly, include your required removal timeline.
If the store or facility must be cleared by a specific date, let our buying team know upfront.
Why Sell Store Closing Inventory in Bulk?
A store closure often comes with a deadline.
Selling qualifying merchandise in bulk can help your business recover working capital, reduce inventory transfer costs, clear the location faster, eliminate excess SKUs, reduce handling requirements, and simplify the closing process.
Instead of moving merchandise you no longer need, give our buying team an opportunity to purchase it.
