78 Big Lots stores reopening tomorrow: Full list by state
Big Lots is coming back! All hope seemed to be lost for the home discount retail chain when it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year. However, another discount retail chain company called Variety Wholesalers swooped in to buy 219 Big Lots Stores from the liquidator- Gordon Brothers. Variety Wholesalers will now be opening its last slot of purchased stores for customers on Thursday (June 5).
78 Big Lots stores are reopening across 9 states on June 5. (X)
‘We’re thrilled to bring the Big Lots! brand back to life by offering more deals than ever, lots of famous brands, and a new apparel department for the entire family,” said Lisa Seigies, president and CEO of Variety Wholesalers in a press release. “We’re opening stores quickly so we can serve the community. We know the stores won’t be perfect to start, but each week we’ll add more new products as we build towards the grand opening celebration in the fall. Every time a customer visits Big Lots! we want them to find something new and exciting!”
Variety Wholesalers owns many retail chains like Bargain Town and Super Dollar itself. It had announced plans to operate the 219 stores acquired from Gordon Brothers under the Big Lots brand name after a period of renovation and re-merchandising. The company announced that stores would be re-opened in about four stages, three of which have already been completed.
Beginning in April, nine stores were re-opened across six states in the first wave, 54 stores in 12 states in the second wave, and 78 stores across 13 states in the third wave.
Under its fourth wave, 78 stores will be opened across 9 states- 7 in Florida, 3 in Georgia, 1 in Kentucky, 22 in North Carolina, 13 in Ohio, 11 in Pennsylvania, 10 in South Carolina, 5 in Tennessee, and 6 in Virginia.
