Big Lots’ comeback continues to get bigger.
Big Lots is set to open more than 70 stores across the United States on June 5. The expected openings come only weeks after Big Lots opened dozens of stores on May 15.
The openings come months after Big Lots announced its sale to Gordon Brothers Retail Partners. As part of the deal, Variety Wholesalers acquired 219 Big Lots stores, as well as two distribution centers.
“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,” Variety Wholesalers CEO Lisa Seigies said in an April 4 news release.
Which Big Lots stores are reopening?
Big Lots openings on June 5 are set to take place in nine states: Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Other retailers taking over Big Lots locations
Apart from Variety Wholesalers, other retailers have announced the purchase of Big Lots locations. Rhode Island-based Ocean State Job Lot announced in March that it would be buying 15 Big Lots locations in New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont.
In February, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet said it would be buying 40 former Big Lots store locations.
