everything must go

Store closing phrase

Everything must go is a retail phrase announcing that all merchandise is for sale, typically at steep discounts, because a store is closing or liquidating inventory.

The urgency implies desperation—the seller needs to clear out completely: The banner read "Everything Must Go" as the family business shut its doors after forty years.

The phrase has become shorthand for any dramatic clearing out or ending.
