The Big Lots discount chain is closing hundreds more stores than the 40 it announced in June, affecting locations in the tristate area previously believed to be unscathed.
At the time of company’s June filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Big Lots expressed optimism, saying it planned to open three stores in 2024 even as it closed up to 40 of its nearly 1,400 locations.
