How it Works
Our TLC Program helps you open a retail store which will resell liquidation, overstock and wholesale items. The store can provide meaningful employment to those in need while delivering a valuable service to your community. Best of all, a successful operation can generate positive cashflow that can be used to fund additional outreach efforts.
It all starts by selecting merchandise that is well-suited for the demographics of your location. Liquidation merchandise presents the perfect opportunity due to the constant variation and low-cost. It allows you to quickly develop a customer base that keeps coming back to see what you’ll have on your shelves next. Our team will educate you on the various types of liquidation loads available and help you gauge sell-through based on the history of similar loads.
