The liquidation business has taken up shop in the old Bargain Hunt

Forest Hills Liquidation (FH Liquidation) (FH), located at 560 S Jefferson Avenue, recently held its grand opening in Cookeville. The liquidation business has taken up shop in the old Bargain Hunt (BH) building next to Big R Farm and Home Store.

Discount retailer Essex Technology Group, also known as Bargain Hunt, recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and shuttered all stores, including the Cookeville location. BH had 91 stores in 10 states before it started closing them down.

Erik Crawford, the owner of FH Liquidation, also co-founded Bargain Hunt in 2000 before leaving the chain “to leave and get back to my roots of liquidation to create the best liquidation store in Middle Tennessee.”

“I am very blessed to love what I do,” says Crawford. “This is foremost because of the team I am privileged to work with every day and the customers we get to serve.”

FH Liquidation is open Wednesday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
