"55 % off entire stock"

entire stock -
Does it mean all the items on sale or partially?

Thanks,

The stock of the store is everything they have on the premisses.
Any and all items you see there are on sale for the above-mentioned discount.

Be careful that the sentence doesn't stop there. It might be terminated by a rather disappointing phrase:
55% off entire stock of second-hand gloves and shoes.

Hi CJ,

I'll find out when I walk in the store. Wink [;)]

Thanks for telling.
