Are you one of the many property owners left with furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) after a tenant file for bankruptcy? If so, you’re not alone. With the recent wave of store closures and retail bankruptcies, many landlords are faced with the costly and often frustrating task of cleaning out properties when tenants leave behind excess fixtures and equipment. Whether you have a JOANN, Big Lots, Rite Aid, Party City, Bargain Hunt, Forever 21 or a 99 Cent Only with Fixtures Remaining you may to paying someone to remove the fixtures and cover the costs for the dumpsters.
At MId-America Store Fixtures, we’ve been working closely with retailers and commercial property managers to find the most efficient and cost-effective solutions for these situations. Many property managers have told us that their typical plan involves hiring a general contractor to haul the fixtures to a dumpster. But is this really the best option?
The standard approach—hiring a general contractor—can be expensive. In addition to high wages, contractors often add built-in margin percentages and profit margins to their proposals, making the cost of removal even higher. Unfortunately, in many cases, property managers are left with no way to recoup these expenses, especially in the aftermath of a bankruptcy.
But it’s not just about the cost. As more companies focus on sustainability, sending perfectly usable store fixtures to the landfill doesn’t align with the green initiatives some businesses claim to prioritize. Unfortunately, many companies fail to take a forward-thinking approach when it comes to sustainability, often because of the upfront costs involved in finding better solutions.
At Mid-America Store Fixtures, we’ve developed a unique process that helps property managers and retailers clean out their properties efficiently—and often at a lower cost. In some cases, we even provide money back. Our goal is to help our clients reduce waste and support their sustainability goals by keeping reusable fixtures out of landfills and offering them for resale.
