How we plan retail & hospitality moves

A customer-facing business loses money every day its doors are closed, and it usually cannot choose the day it moves. The landlord, the mall, or the franchise opening schedule sets the date. Our job is to fit the move into the window you are given and hand back a floor that is ready to merchandise, seat, or train on.

Retail and hospitality moves are fixture moves. Gondola shelving, slatwall, display tables, mannequins, glass cases, bar stools, banquettes, salon stations, and cardio machines all need different handling, and most of them come apart. We photograph and label fixtures before teardown so they go back together in the right order, and we keep the hardware with the fixture it came from.

Shopping centers write their own rules. Centers around La Cantera and The Rim, the Alamo Quarry area, the Pearl, and downtown near the River Walk often limit moves to hours when shoppers or diners are gone, restrict which doors and corridors a crew may use, and ask for a Certificate of Insurance before the crew is allowed on site. Send us the tenant handbook section on move-ins and we plan to it.

Some of the work belongs to licensed trades, and we say so up front. Anything plumbed, gas-fed, refrigerated, or wired into the building is disconnected by the licensed plumber, electrician, or refrigeration tech you already use, and reconnected by them at the new space. Walk-in coolers are installed, not moved. Alcohol inventory stays with the license holder. Vehicles on a dealership floor are driven by the dealership. We move what is left, which is most of the building, and we schedule around the trades so no one waits on anyone else.

Inventory is yours to count. We move boxed stock in the SKU or department order you pack it in and stage it by zone at the new store, so restocking starts from the right aisle. Pick your type of business below for the fixtures and timing that belong to it.

Retail & Hospitality Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (830) 329-7272.

Our shopping center only allows move-ins after closing. Can you work around that?

Yes. Evening and weekend windows are available, and we plan the crew size so the work fits the hours the center allows. Send us the tenant handbook section on deliveries and move-ins, including door, corridor, and insurance rules, and we build the plan and paperwork to match it.

Do you disconnect kitchen, salon, or bar equipment that is plumbed or gas-fed?

No. That work belongs to a licensed plumber, electrician, or refrigeration technician, usually the one you already use. Once they have disconnected and released a unit, we can move it, and we schedule our arrival around their visits at both locations so nobody is waiting on anyone else.

How do display fixtures get rebuilt the same way at the new store?

Before anything comes apart, fixtures are photographed and labeled, and their hardware is bagged and taped to the piece it came from. At the new space the crew rebuilds from those photos and labels, then stages boxed inventory by department so your team can restock in order.
