Taña Dalglish Oct 29, 2020:
@ Sergio and odisea Thank you Sergio. @ Odisea: I would hesitate too (LOL). Perhaps, wait for other colleagues to chime in and see how they interpret the phrase, but Sergio has certainly confirmed my initial thought! It is very poorly phrased, IMO, and we don't have the benefit of context perhaps before or after that would clarify anything. Anyway, take care all and continue to be safe!
odisea (asker) Oct 29, 2020:
Hi, Taña.
I completely agree with your explanation; in fact, I wrote something similar in my Spanish version, but the text is certainly unclear and I that's why I hesitate...
Sergio Kot Oct 29, 2020:
@odisea I'm with Taña. Both proposals are innacurate and/or do not fit the context, while IMHO Taña's interpretation is accurate.
Taña Dalglish Oct 29, 2020:
@ odisea I believe a few of us are willing to lend a hand, but we really need more context... please! Regards.
Taña Dalglish Oct 29, 2020:
@ odisea "Run out of" is certainly a very unusual (I would venture to say inaccurate) way to phrase the sentence. I believe that what is meant is, "In early 2018, the company signed a partnership for in-home installation of television and furniture purchases ** in collaboration with *** 1,000 stores across the country ..". Is this your understanding too? Regards. P.S. Only more context, odisea, will confirm the meaning, if you have more, but personally, both proposals so far (not my job to critique the answers), but IMO, they are both inaccurate. What has been posted so far does not seem to imply that the stores are "running out" the stock to close down 1,000 stores! That is not the impression I have at all!

"run out of" is quite a standard English construction. I run a business out of my home, you can run a business out of a garage.

deshacerse de, cerrar

Me da que "run out of" no es la expresión que buscaban al redactar el texto en inglés. Si hablamos de tiendas o establecimientos, creo que sería más adecuado "got rid of", que se traduce como "deshacerse de". Quizá tenga más sentido, viendo el contexto hablar de "deshacerse de/cerrar 1000 tiendas" que "agotar(se) 1000 tiendas"

'integrada/compuesta/formada por 1000 establecimientos en todo el país'

Thanks Taña Dalglish for your comment. 'En colaboración con' could also be right in this context.

agree Taña Dalglish : You were first and yes, I think that is what the text is trying to convey (in the absence of context).

que se agotan, que se agotaron

Por el contexto da para entener que los elementos conseguidos por la asociación (TV y muebles) se agotaron rápidamente.
Parágrafo un poco confuso.

En el contexto de la frase, "run out of" puede también significar "saturar" o sea, despúes de una acción de la empresa, el éxito fué tan grande que el sistema se saturó de atendimientos, donde ellos no podian más ser programados"

My interpretation:

A principios de 2018, la empresa se asoció con 1.000 comercios de todo el país para proveer, previa coordinación y en régimen de prácticamente 24 horas al día, la instalación en domicilio de los televisores y muebles que se adquirieran en esos establecimientos comerciales.
Peer comment(s):
agree Taña Dalglish : Yes, I think that is what the text is trying to convey (in the absence of context) - "se asoció con / en colaboración con...". Continue to stay safe, Mónica!
