OPTIMISTIC FOR THE FUTURE

Although the massive retail chain filed bankruptcy and numerous stores across the country are closing, don’t expect price hikes in the future. Bruce Thorn, President and Chief Executive Officer expressed his gratitude for his loyal customers and explained, “As we move through this process, we remain committed to offering extreme bargains.”

Big Lots began the year with over 1,400 stores, however that number is rapidly dwindling down as the company transitions to new owners who are taking on the challenge to bring back the store to its glory days.

CALIFORNIA TO TAKE THE BIGGEST HIT

So far, California will take the biggest hit, with 54 stores closing soon. Arizona and Washington state follow with 13 and 12 store closures announced. You can check out a more detailed list HERE.
