New Myrtle Beach store opens to resell Target, Lowe’s and Walmart items in bulk
A new pallet store opened its doors in the Myrtle Beach area with the hopes of saving resellers, thrift shops, construction workers and others money on products.
Beach Liquidators, located on George Bishop Parkway across from Beach Church, opened Friday. It sells items from big-name businesses like Target, Lowe’s and Amazon in bulk by the pallet.
“It’s all new, returned or box damaged,” owner Donald Chavis said. “It’s good for flea markets or reselling.”
To celebrate the location’s opening, any pallet purchased through Sunday will enter you in a chance to win a meat smoker. Chavis said he likes to give away a prize per month to a lucky customer.
Chavis opened his first liquidation store in Scotland County (N.C.) after buying a pallet and selling it himself. He bought another and then started his business after getting contracts with retailers. He said the stores are becoming popular as they allows people to get a lot of items at a low price.
Pallets filled with goods cannot be broken up for sale and not even Chavis knows what’s in them beyond what can be seen from the outside. He gets trucks of pallets almost every day and orders what he thinks the community will want.
You will need your own truck or vehicle to cart the items.
The bulked items vary in cost depending on the store and value of items inside, but Chavis said they all cost less than $500. He said the cost is always significantly less than the value of the stuff inside each pallet, which he hopes makes the purchaser money as they resell items.
He believes buying a pallet would be a great way for someone to start an online business, a stall at a flea market or for construction companies looking for discounted items.
“If you want to make a little extra money, come in, buy one and break it down,” he said. “We have a lot of people who do this ... I hope it takes off.”
Chavis recommends checking the store’s Facebook page each week for its hours.
