Access and scheduling
Furniture stores tend to have one large advantage and one large problem. The advantage is usually a real loading dock or an oversized rear door. The problem is volume, so the day is planned by room group: bedroom, dining, living, then the back room. We walk both buildings to measure the widest sectional and tallest armoire against the doors.
Your team sets two cutoffs: the last day samples can be sold off the floor, and the last day new stock deliveries arrive at the old address. Ask your suppliers to ship anything due after that date to the new store. Moving the showroom over a weekend lets you close the old doors on a Saturday and open the new ones soon after. If the new location is in a shopping center, check whether the landlord wants a certificate of insurance first.
