Read case studies and sales figures from some of Wingate Sales Solutions’ most successful liquidation sales from across the nation. Since 1916, Wingate Sales Solutions have helped retail store owners close, liquidate, or promote over 35,000 stores. The return you get on your retail liquidation sale depends on many factors, but the most important factor is the condition of your inventory. Stores fully stocked with good current merchandise tend to get the highest return. Stores with sold down, depleted or old inventories usually get the poorest return. In any case, our sale plan is designed to get you the best return possible. Wingate Sales Solutions‘ advice is to keep your store fully stocked right up to the day the sale starts.
