The sale will be conducted as a timed, Bidspotter online auction of assets at more than ten retail locations and one commissary location starting on Nov. 16 and ending on Nov. 20, 2015.
“We look forward to offering customers an opportunity to purchase Organic Avenue’s high-quality and professionally-maintained restaurant and kitchen equipment at a considerable value,” said Brian Yellen, president of Yellen Partners.
