Closing a Store · 4–6 Weeks · Flat Fee
Store Liquidation & Closure Planning
Closing a store is hard, and you deserve a clear-eyed plan — not a rushed fire sale. My Retail Experts builds your liquidation strategy, markdown cadence, and wind-down guidance, and coordinates a vetted third-party liquidation partner on your behalf, all for one flat fee.
What's included
Everything you need to close well, not just close fast.
A closure is a lot more than a sale — it's markdowns, vendors, your lease, and your people. We plan for all of it.
Liquidation strategy
A clear plan for how and when to sell down remaining inventory to maximize recovery.
Markdown cadence
A week-by-week discount schedule that moves inventory without giving away more margin than necessary.
Vendor return & lease-exit guidance
Guidance on negotiating vendor returns and navigating your lease exit or renegotiation.
Staff wind-down guidance
A respectful, practical plan for communicating with and winding down your team.
How the third-party liquidator coordination works
You get one predictable cost. We handle the vendor relationship.
Running the physical liquidation sale — the auction or clearance event itself — is usually handled by a specialist liquidation or auction firm. Rather than leave you to find and negotiate with one of those firms alone, My Retail Experts sources, negotiates, and manages that relationship on your behalf as part of your flat fee.
We source
We identify a vetted third-party liquidation or auction partner suited to your store and inventory.
We negotiate
We negotiate terms on your behalf, then you review and approve before anything is signed.
You approve & pay separately
You pay that third party directly for their execution work. Our flat fee covers only our own planning and coordination — not their service.
This gives you one predictable, all-in planning cost instead of the 10–25%-of-proceeds commission structure most liquidation firms charge directly for the full process.
The process
A structured 4–6 week wind-down.
Strategy & partner sourcing
We build your liquidation strategy and markdown cadence, and begin sourcing and negotiating with a third-party liquidation partner.
Vendor, lease & staff planning
We guide vendor return negotiations, lease-exit steps, and a staff wind-down plan while the sale ramps up.
Close-out
Final markdown stages, closing logistics, and a wrap-up call to confirm everything is settled.

Questions
Liquidation & closure FAQ
No. The $2,500 flat fee covers My Retail Experts' own planning and coordination. The third-party liquidation or auction partner who runs the physical sale is paid separately by you, on terms you approve before anything begins.
You can — but most liquidation firms charge 10–25% of your gross sale proceeds for the full process. We help you get a fair, negotiated arrangement with a vetted partner while keeping our own planning cost fixed and separate.
We know closing a store is one of the hardest decisions an owner makes. This engagement is built to be practical and respectful — clear guidance for your vendors, your lease, and your staff, at a pace you can manage.
