Overview

  • Big Lots will reopen more than 70 stores across nine states on June 5 as part of its phased nationwide relaunch.
  • Thirteen stores in Ohio, including locations in Akron, Canton, and Cincinnati, are set to reopen in the largest single-day rollout for the state.
  • Three Georgia stores in Covington, LaGrange, and Statesboro will also reopen on June 5, expanding the retailer's presence in the region.
  • Variety Wholesalers acquired 219 Big Lots locations from Gordon Brothers earlier this year and has been leading the brand's revival since May.
  • This marks the latest phase in Big Lots' recovery following its bankruptcy filing in September 2024, attributed to inflation and high interest rates.
