OhioHealth plans ‘medical use' for Big lots Columbus HQ after $36 million sale
The healthcare provider applied on July 29 to rezone the 24-acre property at 4900 E. Dublin Granville Rd. 'for expanded medical uses,' NBC4 confirmed. The move comes as 'OhioHealth has a significant presence in the New Albany area which includes a major ambulatory facility, an urgent care and a freestanding emergency department,' a spokesperson said.

'As part of our continued interest in growing services in the communities we serve, OhioHealth purchased the former Big Lots' headquarters near New Albany and submitted an application to rezone the property for expanded medical uses,' the spokesperson said in a statement.
OhioHealth's effort will position the building to meet a variety of future community healthcare needs, but no specific project is planned or funded at this time, the statement noted. The provider's New Albany footprint includes an emergency care center and a medical campus with an urgent care center along nearby Hamilton Road.
Big Lots entered into an agreement with the healthcare provider to sell its headquarters in January, then closed on the $36 million sale in April, Franklin County Auditor's Office records show. The property includes two buildings constructed in 2017 as part of the Hamilton Quarter development. The first building is office space spanning four stories and 273,000 square feet, and the second is 329,348 square feet with distribution space and a parking garage.
Once a Columbus-based retailer, Big Lots announced in a city notice last year that 555 employees based at the East Dublin Granville Road headquarters would be terminated. The letter said the 'mass layoffs' were expected to begin the week of Dec. 29 and conclude by April.

The agreement with OhioHealth came as Gordon Brother Retail Partners acquired Big Lots in January, which included a deal to transfer the ownership of several hundred storefronts to Variety Wholesalers, a Henderson, North Carolina, company that operates several hundred discount stores.
Variety then moved to relaunch dozens of Big Lots stores in waves. The first round reopened nine stores in early April, followed by nearly 60 storefronts in the second wave in May, including seven in Ohio. A third round featured eight Ohio locations, while the final set featured nearly 80 stores, including 13 in Ohio.
Big Lots filed for bankruptcy last September and was almost acquired by a top Dollar Shave Club and Toms investor for $765 million before the sale fell through.

Apple Wants To Expand Live Sports Offering With MLB Playoffs
As Apple continues to bolster its Apple TV+ offerings, the company has shown a steadily increasing interest in broadcasting live sporting events. The company's latest move might see it expand its Major League Baseball coverage to include Wild Card games during the MLB postseason. According to a report from The Athletic, Apple is making a push that would see it secure the rights to Sunday Night Baseball along with some MLB playoff games. Should Apple and MLB ultimately strike a deal, it would be a nice complement to the company's Friday Night Baseball programming. As with all streaming negotiations with major sports leagues, there is no shortage of competition. The report notes that MLB is also conducting negotiations with companies like ESPN, NBC, and Netflix. Of course, the scope of programming rights each company is aiming to secure varies wildly. Apple's specific approach, as one would expect, appears to be quite measured. All in all, it seems content to slowly but surely expand its live sports offerings without spending vast amounts of cash to secure more expansive streaming deals with the likes of the NFL or NBA. Read more: 6 TV Shows That Are So Good, I Wish I Could Wipe My Memory And Enjoy Them Again For The First Time Sports Is The New Streaming Battleground As the streaming wars intensify, live sports have proven to be a great way to provide unique content capable of instantly attracting a ton of viewers. Last year, for example, Netflix for the first time aired two NFL games on Christmas Day. Netflix shelled out a lot of money for the broadcast rights and the gamble paid off in a big way. According to reports, Netflix's foray into NFL streaming attracted 65 million US viewers. Amazon has also gotten involved with the NFL. In 2022, the company became the exclusive platform to watch Thursday Night Football. And Peacock, starting in 2023, began airing exclusive NFL playoff games. In short, as streamers look to solidify their subscriber base, securing rights to live sporting events has proven to be a smart strategy. To this point, you might recall a report from earlier this summer claiming that Apple is also interested in acquiring Formula 1 streaming rights for somewhere in the range of $120 million. It's certainly a chunk of change, but pales in comparison to the billions ESPN pays for NFL streaming rights and the $150 million Netflix paid the NFL for just two NFL games last year.

Super League Enterprise Inc (SLE) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Strategic Partnerships and ...
Release Date: August 14, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Super League Enterprise Inc (NASDAQ:SLE) streamlined operations and closed important financial transactions, aligning the company towards sustainable profitability. The company forged new partnerships to support revenue diversification, with more than 75% of closed deals coming from repeat customers. Super League Enterprise Inc (NASDAQ:SLE) expanded its partnership with Meta Stadiums, entering the TikTok ecosystem, which is expected to generate revenue starting in Q4 2025. The launch of Road Trends Pro, a Roblox trend intelligence analytics tool, has been well-received, with a broad array of subscribers validating its potential as a new revenue contributor. East Coast sales performance improved significantly, with revenue up 150% through June 30th compared to the first half of 2024, indicating successful market penetration. Negative Points Q2 revenues decreased by 27% year-over-year due to macroeconomic headwinds and structural shifts in the Roblox ad ecosystem. Despite a focus on higher margin revenue, the company faced caution from marketers due to tariff uncertainty, impacting gross revenue. The company is still adapting to structural shifts in the Roblox ad ecosystem, which has affected revenue performance. Super League Enterprise Inc (NASDAQ:SLE) divested its Minecraft property, which may impact its revenue from that segment. The company is exploring opportunities in the cryptocurrency space, which could present risks due to the volatile nature of the market. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 9 Warning Signs with SLE. Q: Can you touch a little bit on the new revenue lines, particularly mobile and programmatic, and describe the scope of the opportunity for each? What do you expect the revenue mix to look like in the future? A: This year, the real opportunity will likely remain in mobile in terms of diversification. The subscription product and our partnership to move into TikTok will just be getting started and probably not be as material compared to mobile. Our target for mobile is to get it closer to 25% of our revenue this year. Looking ahead, we hope immersive platforms will represent 50-60% of our revenue, with 40-50% coming from other areas connected to gaming and gamified content platforms. Matt Edelman, President and CEO Q: Do you expect your operating expenses to remain stable, or do you foresee any changes? A: We do not plan to increase our expense footprint. We believe we have right-sized the business to achieve profitability. The flow of dollars will continue to be somewhat seasonal, with more advertising spending in certain quarters. We don't anticipate growth in expenses, but revenue may dip in the first half of next year, followed by an acceleration in the second half. Matt Edelman, President and CEO Q: Has the hesitation among your customer base started to abate, and has activity increased in Q3? A: Yes, the fear we had in late Q1 and early Q2 about budget cuts did not materialize. Budgets were paused, not cut, and many campaigns were pushed out. Since then, budgets have opened up, and we are seeing stronger signs, especially relative to Q4. Matt Edelman, President and CEO Q: What is the cycle for your sales team reaching full capacity, and what can we expect in terms of adding new people? A: When bringing someone new into the sales organization, it takes about six months for them to operate at full throttle. Our East Coast team, which solidified late last year, is now hitting its stride, encouraging us for the second half of the year. Matt Edelman, President and CEO Q: Are you considering partnerships or acquisitions to exploit the Genius Act and stablecoin opportunities? A: We have several ideas on how the Genius Act might open business opportunities for Super League. We are surrounding ourselves with the right expertise and potential partners to ensure we enter the space from the right starting point. The regulatory framework allows us to leverage existing infrastructure for compelling consumer propositions.
