Every year in North America, trillions of dollars of retail inventory become classified as surplus.

These assets may be outdated goods, over-orders, or merchandise that is simply underperforming. Effectively managing these assets is an often-overlooked element in a retailer's broad strategic vision. This is unfortunate, since converting these assets to working capital can be as important as gross sales in determining the ultimate success of a retail operation.

Smart retailers know that in order to focus on the future, one must not be hindered by the past. They understand that the best way to stay healthy is to aggressively manage obsolescence and, in most instances, this means pro-actively converting excess merchandise into working capital.

So, since 1903, they have looked to Gordon Brothers Group to appraise and monetize retail inventories that no longer fit into their broad strategic plans. As a result of the tens of thousands of stores that we have managed and the hundreds of thousands of employees we have worked with in the past, we have unique insight into the details and processes that ensure the greatest sales in virtually every format and category of merchandise, including:

Apparel Department Stores Electronics Furs Hardware/Home Centers Office/Party Supplies

Arts & Crafts Discount Stores Farm/Agricultural Furniture Home Goods & Linens Specialty Stores

Catalog Showrooms Drug/Health & Beauty Footwear Grocery Stores Jewelry Sporting Goods

We have conducted past and present business with most of the top 100 retailers in America and continue to lead the majority of all major inventory disposition/clearance projects worldwide. Today, based on our reputation for maximizing returns and protecting brands and relationships, Gordon Brothers Group annually manages thousands of stores and converts billions of dollars of inventory into working capital on behalf of its clients.
