Not too long ago, we told you about Big Lots and their plans to close 47 locations, adding to their ongoing list of 350+ locations closing.
But as of last week (Oct. 11), you can add a whopping 56 more stores to the list of closures.
That brings the total to more than 400 Big Lots stores going dark.
Big Lots filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection back in September, and it’s just been mudslide of bad news since that day. The store has been a staple in the American shopping culture since the 1960s, offering customers deep discounts on many different types of goods.
