Big Lots is revising its Chapter 11 bankruptcy plans, altering the status of some store closures while announcing new shutdowns. Initially, the retailer planned to close about 550 stores after filing for bankruptcy, with over 240 closures completed by mid-October. However, recent updates show some stores previously marked for closure have reopened their operations, while others have reverted to closing status.
The company recently filed plans to close 19 additional locations across nine states, primarily in the West. Despite these challenges, Big Lots is preparing for the holiday season, promoting “Black Friday Fridays” and launching a new shopping app.
As of Nov. 19, over 270 stores have closed, while more than 200 remain in the closing process. Customers can check the status of specific stores using the company’s online store locator.
