In this episode of Business Brain, Dave Hamilton and Shannon Jean talk with Michael Prandamano, founder of The Bin Store. Michael shares his journey from starting out with retail arbitrage in his backyard storage shed to operating two successful bin store locations moving over 1.75 million items annually. The Bin Store offers a unique pricing model where everything starts at $6 on “restock days” and gradually decreases throughout the week, making it a treasure hunt for customers.

Michael discusses the challenges of scaling his business, managing inventory, negotiating leases, and employing effective guerrilla marketing strategies to attract customers. He emphasizes the importance of delivering value to customers and leveraging his past experiences to make strategic decisions. Michael also offers insights into the sourcing process, where he buys truckloads of returned products without delving into specific manifests, trusting in the cost-per-piece model to ensure profitability. The episode showcases the creativity, adaptability, and customer-focused mindset needed to thrive in retail liquidation.
