Liquidation World (TSX: LQW) is a chain of large warehouse style stores offering products at liquidation prices. Founded in 1984 by two investors, the company grew to a multi-million dollar company specializing in liquidating overstock products, natural disaster-damaged goods, and inventory from bankrupted or financially weak companies.
A large part of the business is furniture sales. All furniture is sold "as is" and most of it is from the last season or comes from bankrupt or overstocked stores.
The chain has stores in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario. There also stores in the U.S. states Alaska, Washington, Idaho, and Montana most of which were former Ernst Home & Nursery stores. [1]
