That does seem like it would be the easiest route, but it seems that if that were an option, the OP probably would have done it already. I wonder if it wasn't an option for some reason.
yeah it wasn't an option for a variety of reasons. for instance, landlord of the prior location will subdividing and reletting the space and that work will take time to complete. another consideration is remaining inventory tends to be the stuff that doesn't sell well anyway and even at a steep discount that inventory occupies valuable shelf space.
