World's Biggest Garage Sale Pty Ltd trading as Circonomy - Voluntary Liquidation

World's Biggest Garage Sale Pty Ltd trading as Circonomy, a Brisbane-based retailer of renewed goods including furniture, office supplies, technology and equipment, entered creditors’ voluntary liquidation on 4 October.

The company was founded in 2013 as a charity fundraiser to reduce waste and increase sustainability by selling repaired, recycled or refurbished products. The fundraiser became a company a couple of years later and in 2022 Officeworks reportedly bought a 21% stake in the business.

Last year, the company opened a second store in north Melbourne. However, despite the best efforts of the team to increase sales and reduce costs, the business was no longer financially viable. 

James Taplin and Stefan Dopking of BRI Ferrier were appointed liquidators.
