Retail Store Clean-Outs

From individual retail outlets to anchor stores and expansive shopping centers, encompassing both local boutiques and national retail chains, CRS manages the process of de-installation, removal, hauling, and disposal.

Brief Overview

What is a Retail Store Clean-Out?

Retail clean-outs involve the removal of furniture, fixtures, and equipment from retail store locations, whether due to renovations or store closures. This clearance can apply to various retail environments, including standalone buildings, strip malls, and shopping centers.


The importance of retail store clean-outs cannot be understated. As the landscape of shopping transforms, influenced by a multitude of factors that steer consumers away from traditional retail in favor of online purchasing, many brick-and-mortar stores are facing decreased foot traffic and potential closures. Retailers may also consider downsizing or renovating their space to appeal to new clientele. No matter the reason, CRS is ready to manage the de-installation and removal of any outdated FF&E that is being cycled out of service.


The retail store clean-out process is simple. Just contact a company like CRS, provide your project specifications and goals, and we will devise a customized execution plan to disassemble, remove, transport, and dispose of your retail store’s FF&E. Disposal options may include donating, recycling, or transferring items to a material recovery center or landfill. Following the removal of all shelving, display racks, signage, banners, surplus inventory, and items from back rooms or warehouses, we will ensure that the space is cleared of all trash and debris, making it ready for its next intended purpose.

Donate

CRS handles the donation of retail store fixtures and equipment along with surplus inventory. We partner with schools, churches, furniture banks, and charities to repurpose  furniture and equipment. This initiative creates an impact on the community, ensuring that these resources are utilized by those in need. Together, we transform surplus into vital support for individuals who need assistance.

Recycle

When donation options are not viable, we focus on recycling retail store fixtures, and equipment at specific recycling centers. At CRS, we categorize recyclables by material to strengthen our initiatives, minimizing landfill waste and promoting sustainability. Our objective is to enhance recycling efforts across all projects, delivering advantages for both the environment and the community.

Dispose

When donation and recycling are impractical—either due to the FF&E being unsuitable for donation or the absence of viable recycling options—we partner with hauling companies that offer dumpsters in accordance with CRS's responsible disposal guidelines. If we manage the transportation of your FF&E ourselves, we strive to identify material recovery centers as preferable alternatives to landfills.

Wall-mounted Shelves, Merchandise Displays & Gondolas

As part of your retail store clean-out, CRS is fully equipped to remove retail fixtures, including wall-mounted shelving, clothing racks, displays, gondolas, and pallet racking from both sales floor and backroom areas.

Appliances

CRS oversees the removal of appliances of various sizes, whether they are located in break rooms or on the sales floor—such as microwaves, refrigerators, and coffee makers—or in communal areas like vending machines. Additionally, we handle commercial appliances found in retail settings, which include commercial ovens, stoves, freezers, refrigerators, coolers, refrigerated islands, meat and deli cases, soft drink cooler boxes, and much more. CRS is also fully equipped to manage backroom equipment, including cardboard balers and product-moving devices such as pallet jacks and forklifts.

Signage, Illuminated Displays, Decals & Banners

Signage that clearly reflects the identity of your store, illuminated displays that create a warm and inviting atmosphere, decals on the retail walls showcasing your merchandise, and efficient markers like aisle signs that simplify product location can all be addressed during your retail store clean-out. Additionally, we are prepared to handle any other decor elements that your retail space no longer needs or wishes to retain, whether they are attached to the walls or present on the floors.

Electronics

From cash registers and security systems to phone systems and various other electronics present in a retail environment, all can be meticulously removed and disposed of by CRS during a retail store clean-out.

Surplus Inventory

When a retail store is vacating its space and a complete clearance is necessary, there is often a surplus of inventory remaining that is no longer useful to the operation. CRS can efficiently manage the surplus products, frequently facilitating donations to local charities to ensure they do not end up in landfills.

Point-of-Sale Counters, Cash Wrap Areas, and Kiosks

Whether you operate a quaint boutique retail shop with a single checkout counter or a large national retail chain boasting over 25 check stands, CRS is equipped to manage the de-installation, removal, and eco-friendly disposal of your point-of-sale counters.

Backroom & Warehousing Area

Both small and large retail stores typically have a backroom designated for excess inventory or products awaiting display on the sales floor. In these backrooms or warehouses, you may encounter shelving or pallet racking that can be disassembled and removed, along with stacks of empty pallets. Whatever may be concealed behind those double doors leading to the stockroom can be sustainably cleared away by CRS as part of your retail store clean-out.

Furniture

As part of your retail store clearance project, CRS can manage the removal of any furniture present on the premises, including break room furnishings such as tables, chairs, and couches, as well as office furniture like desks, chairs, tables, and filing cabinets located in the management offices.
