Many of Kohn-Megibow’s buyers are beginning to love our new virtual online auctions that we started during the COVID-19 shutdown.

Even we were a little skeptical about the online virtual auction process as first, but it really has been a great experience for us so far. It has allowed Kohn-Megibow to continue buying and selling quality used restaurant equipment during these times when live auctions just aren’t as safe or practical to conduct. Our buyers...

Virtual auctions may be the wave of the future. They’ll never replace the energy and excitement of Kohn-Megibow’s live used restaurant equipment auctions, but they are an effective way for us to sell equipment right now.

Times are tough for so many small businesses right now because of COVID-19. Even those allowed to stay open have been forced to adapt by dealing with social distancing requirements and less income from a down economy. Restaurants had to convert to carryout and delivery only, basically overnight, and it may be some time before...

Almost all businesses are being forced to adapt during the COVID-19 crisis, and Kohn-Megibow Company is no exception. Because of social distancing measures, we are unable to host our usual bi-weekly used restaurant equipment auctions at our Anaheim headquarters. We are also very limited in allowing any customers to browse our warehouse in person.

When Southern California restaurant owners think about Kohn-Megibow Company, they tend to know most about our bi-weekly used restaurant equipment auctions. After all, our auction services are what put us on the map so many decades ago and our auctions continue to drive our business today. However, there’s a lot more to KMC than just...
