goods on consignment
to close this old, old question
I think it's goods on consignment where the clients become owners after two years (not perishable obviously ;-0)
or by paying a certain sum or by reaching a certain level of sales (quotas, for example)
some art galleries work like that, they take good on consignment - if they meet a certain quota of sales, some of the goods become theirs to resell, like 1 painting out of 10 or the smallest/cheapest painting becomes theirs (sort of a bonus) if they sell the other 9

warehouse
Consignment is a pretty specialist thing, to do with a third party holding goods on your behalf (sometimes called "consignation" in Fr).
Since this appears to be about goods for shops, I would think a warehouse is what is meant. However "dépôt" can cover a multitude of sins as far as storage in general is concerned, so if you know that the shops in question involve some kind of specialist goods requiring specialist storage, another term may be more suitable.
