Clintonville Electric inventory up for liquidation sale

Business First of Columbus

After closing up shop for good late last month, Clintonville Electric is opening its doors to the public over the next three weekends for an inventory liquidation sale.

The retailer shut down weeks ago after 69 years in business, and about four years after being sold to new owners and moving miles from the neighborhood where it first opened. Clintonville Electric upon closing was housed in a 12,000-square-foot showroom at 2136 Bethel Road, the site of a former Rite Aid drug store. The business got its start at 3367 N. High St. in Clintonville.

Columbus-based auction and liquidation firm Gryphon USA Ltd. is managing the liquidation. Gryphon President Rich Kruse estimates about $450,000 in inventory will be up for sale at prices starting 35 percent below the product's last marked price.

The sale on the upcoming weekends will be held:

• Oct. 17 - noon to 6 p.m., Oct. 18 - 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Oct. 19 - 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• Oct. 24 - noon to 8 p.m., Oct. 25 - 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Oct. 26 - 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• Nov. 1 - 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Nov. 2 - 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
