COOS BAY, Ore. - Hoping to cut costs and get back to their original business plan, BNT Promotional Products announces their plans to move their business all under one roof.

Currently located in North Bend and Downtown Coos Bay, BNT announced two weeks ago, their plans to cut their overhead costs by moving out of their Coos Bay building.

"We're not as efficient and were not doing business as quick and as fast as we'd like and we just feel now with what we feel is going to go on with the next year or two, we really need to hunker down and get back to our roots in North Bend and be in all one location with our production," says Co-Owner Scott Terhaar.

He says they will also be cutting out their retail sales, because it is the weakest link in their business.

"Retail is not our best business, it's not what we're good at. We're really in a just in time business, you want to put your logo on something, you want to brand your business, that's what we're good at and that's what we want to focus on for the long term."

Terhaar says BNT hopes to move out of the Coos Bay building by the end of September, and have full operations up and running in North Bend by October 1st.

He says they plan on selling or leasing the space.

And now through the end of September, they are liquidating all their retail which is marked at 50 to 75 percent off.
