How do you clear out a retail store or restaurant when it closes?

All fixtures, furniture, equipment, and inventory need to go. The space must be left empty and clean for the next tenant before the lease expires.

Closing a business is hard enough even if you don’t have to do all the physical work involved. Think of all the different things that go into retail stores. When clearing out spaces like these, all of the following needs to go: shelving, racks, counters, signage, display units, and unsold inventory. A restaurant usually has all this, plus kitchen equipment, prep tables, dining furniture, and bar fixtures. Though it’s a lot, it still all has to go. The space needs to be ready for a new tenant to move in before the lease expires.

Handling that in-house is seldom practical. The items are heavy and the timeline is tight. The last thing a busy business owner needs is to spend the final days in a space wrestling coolers out the back door. A professional junk removal crew can help a great deal here.

The Junkluggers of New Haven County is one such crew. The Junkluggers can help clear retail and restaurant spaces in one coordinated visit. This involves removing the furniture, fixtures, equipment, and leftover stock and hauling it all so the space is ready to hand back. Once all the items are picked up, they are then sorted so usable fixtures and equipment are donated and rehomed where possible and recyclables are handled properly. We provide a written on-site estimate before any work begins.

We are equipped for large-scale commercial cleanouts too. The team has handled projects for a major national home and clothing retailer, so no job is too big. With same-day and next-day service available when the schedule allows, we help you clear the space and meet your lease deadline.
