Online auction of excess furniture and equipment will benefit local businesses and the environment.
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Surplus furniture, fixtures, and equipment from the closure of the Wegmans Natick, Massachusetts location will be auctioned online in August at auction website RestaurantEquipment.bid, announced its parent company, national Facility, Equipment, and Liquidation company TAGeX Brands.
Open to all, and with a minimum bid of just $1.00, the auction will provide an opportunity for independent food and beverage sellers, restaurants, and even homeowners to purchase professional-grade Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E) such as refrigerators, display cases, and racks, at a fraction of their usual price. It also will keep the materials out of local landfills, said Neal Sherman, Founder and CEO of TAGeX Brands.
"Companies reconfiguring real estate have enough to deal with—personnel, leasing and more," Sherman said. "We remove one stressor by helping to manage the data around a store closure and to re-sell or liquidate excess equipment in the shortest time, for the best price and with the least impact on the environment."
Sherman added, "This is a win/win/win. These auctions are amazing opportunities for a new or growing business to update or expand its equipment affordably. The selling company will liquidate its stock efficiently. And for a company as large and successful as Wegmans, it provides an additional opportunity — to exit a location in the most sustainable way. That's what we do best."
TAGeX Brands was founded in the Washington, D.C. area in 1987 to help consumer brands set up — and then dispose of — temporary kiosks within supermarkets. Because so much of the equipment (such as ovens and mixers) was still valuable, the company began re-selling them for the customers, largely to smaller operators. TAGeX expanded rapidly to restaurants, food service operators, retailers, and convenience stores, and then to allied businesses including real estate companies, lawyers, accountants, and banks as they handled aspects of store closures and liquidation. In 2020, the company relocated to the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York and began opening facilities around the country.
In addition to the auction site RestaurantEquipment.bid, TAGeX operates RestaurantEquipment.shop, an online storefront that offers immediate purchases, and Advanced Auction Company, which conducts online auctions for other business sectors.
