BIG LOTS TO CLOSE OVER 300 LOCATIONS NATIONWIDE, LOCAL BRANCHES UNAFFECTED

Big Lots revealed plans to close up to 315 of their over 1,300 locations nationwide, with 75 in California, and 106 in Florida. Big Lots locations in Crossville and Rockwood were reached for statements, with both confirming they will not be affected.
Stores targeted for closure feature a 20% off banner on their store web page.
CEO Bruce Thorn blames the company’s failure to meet sales goals on “continued pullback in consumer spending by our core customers, particularly in high ticket discretionary items.”
