How we plan retail & hospitality moves

When a shop, dining room or tasting room goes dark, the register goes quiet with it, and the date usually is not the owner's to choose. A landlord's turnover, a center's delivery rules or a grand opening already announced online fixes it. Our part is to fit the work inside that window and leave you with a floor ready for merchandise, place settings or the first pour.

Most of what we move in these spaces is fixtures, and each type handles differently. Gondola runs, slatwall panels, nesting tables, glass showcases, booths, bar stools, styling stations and back-bar units usually break down into parts. Before anything is unbolted, we photograph it, tag each component and bag its hardware with it, so reassembly matches the original.

Retail landlords around the Valley each write their own playbook. The Roseville Galleria and its neighboring centers, the storefronts along Broadway and Main in downtown Chico, Yuba City's strip centers on Colusa Avenue, and the historic brick blocks of Old Sacramento commonly restrict moves to closed hours, assign a specific service door, and require a certificate of insurance, which we send whenever it is requested. Forward us the tenant-handbook pages on move-ins and we will schedule to them, working evenings or weekends when requested.

Licensed trades own the connected equipment. Plumbers, electricians and refrigeration techs, preferably the ones who already service your space, disconnect and reconnect anything tied to water, gas, refrigeration or building power. A walk-in cooler stays with the installer who built it rather than riding on our truck. Fermenters and wine tanks go with the company that set them. The ABC license holder decides how beer, wine and spirits are moved and documented. That still leaves most of the room for us, and we book our crew around the trades' visits.

Counting stock is your job. Cartons travel in whatever department or SKU order you pack them and are set down by zone in the new space, so restocking starts in the right aisle. From downtown Chico breweries to foothill tasting rooms and hotels off I-5 and Highway 99, choose your business type below.

Retail & Hospitality Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (530) 354-8089.

The mall only allows move-ins after closing time. Is that a problem?

Not usually. We can work evenings or weekends when you ask, and we size the crew so the job fits inside the hours the center allows. Forward the tenant handbook pages covering deliveries, service doors, corridor protection and insurance, and we will match our plan and paperwork to those rules.

Will your crew unhook our draft system, kitchen line or shampoo bowls?

No. Anything connected to water, gas, refrigeration or building power is disconnected and reconnected by a licensed plumber, electrician or refrigeration tech, ideally the one who already services your space. After they release each unit, we can move it, and our arrival is scheduled around their visits at both addresses.

Who transports our wine and beer when the tasting room relocates?

The ABC license holder decides how alcohol is moved and recorded, and many licensees carry it themselves. We handle the tasting-room furniture, back-bar shelving, display fixtures, retail merchandise and boxed dry goods, and we schedule around whatever day your team sets aside for the inventory.
