Big Lots' has reopening date for Somerset County stores. When it is
Variety Wholesalers intends to open more than 70 new Big Lots! stores on June 5, including 14 in Pennsylvania.
Stores in Johnstown and Greensburg are on that list, according to reporting by USA Today. The Daily American also received an email May 22 from Variety Wholesale's press office confirming the June 5 date for the Johnstown store opening.
The Daily American and USA Today are both owned by Gannett Media.
The Johnstown store is located at 1425 Scalp Ave. and the Greensburg store is at 6041 Route 30, Suite 20.

The June 5 reopening is considered a "soft" open, which means the store will open for business that day without fanfare or special opening day events. A grand opening celebration is scheduled for the fall, according to previous reporting by the Daily American.
A total of 219 stores in 15 states across the eastern and southern U.S. are scheduled to open through June under the new Big Lots! brand, which was acquired by Variety Wholesalers earlier this year in bankruptcy proceedings.
'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,' said Lisa Seigies, president and CEO of Variety Wholesalers, in an April 4 media release from the company.
'We're opening stores quickly so we can serve the community. We know the stores won't be perfect to start, but each week we'll add more new products as we build towards the grand opening celebration in the fall. Every time a customer visits Big Lots! we want them to find something new and exciting!'

Steelers email fans upset over Trump receiving jersey at rally
Pittsburgh Steelers legend Rocky Bleier called an audible when he presented President Trump with a Steelers jersey with the No. 47 during a rally in western Pennsylvania last week. Not everyone was thrilled about it. Several fans emailed the team expressing their anger at the gesture, which was not authorized directly by the team. The club responded to those who reached out, writing that the viewpoints of current and former players do not necessarily reflect the view of the organization. Mr. Trump was joined on stage at the rally to announce he was doubling tariffs on imported steel by 50% by quarterback Mason Rudolph and safety Myles Killebrew. When all three players were on the stage, the crowd broke into a "Here we go, Steelers" chant. President Trump was presented with a Steelers jersey during an event in West Mifflin on May 30, 2025. Credit: KDKA "I'm a fan of your Steelers," Mr. Trump said during the rally. "And I happen to think a really good quarterback is a man named Mason Rudolph. I think he's going to get a big shot. He's tall, he's handsome, he's got a great arm. I have a feeling he's going to be the guy." Rudolph said he saw some of the blowback but did not take it personally. "That's the nature of social media," Rudolph said Tuesday after the Steelers wrapped up a voluntary team workout. "That's the nature of why America is so great. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Speech is free. Par for the course." Bleier, Rudolph and Killebrew aren't the only people with ties to the Steelers who have appeared with Mr. Trump. Former stars Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell met Mr. Trump when he was stumping in western Pennsylvania ahead of the 2024 election. Former Steelers owner and Hall of Famer Dan Rooney served as the U.S. ambassador to Ireland from 2009-12 during Barack Obama's first term.

Fetterman chief of staff departing amid office turnover
Sen. John Fetterman's chief of staff Krysta Juris is departing her role and the office is elevating another adviser to fill the position, the Pennsylvania Democrat said on Tuesday. 'I'm grateful for Krysta's work. She's been an invaluable member of the team for over two years and I wish her all the best,' Fetterman said in a statement his office provided to CNN. In the statement, he also announced that Cabelle St. John will take on the role, describing her as 'a trusted advisor since day 1 in the office.' Fetterman's office is known to have had notable staff turnover though Juris' departure, which was first reported by Axios, comes at a time when the senator is facing increased scrutiny. In an interview with CNN last month, Fetterman roundly dismissed allegations that he's unfit to serve in the Senate, attacking a recent report detailing claims of erratic behavior as a 'hit piece' and vowing to serve out his term. The senator pushed back on assertions from former and current staffers published in New York Magazine that he had been exhibiting reckless and volatile behavior. 'It's a one-source hit piece, and it involved maybe two or three and anonymous disgruntled staffers saying just absolute false things,' Fetterman told CNN at the time. Fetterman has before been open about receiving treatment for clinical depression. He checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to receive treatment for clinical depression in 2023 and has spoken out about how his 2022 campaign worsened his mental health. The New York Magazine report detailed on the record allegations from a former staffer and anonymous allegations from current staffers that Fetterman might be off his medication. The senator denied any suggestion that he may not be taking his medication, saying his doctors think he is 'great,' and that he has been attending regular check-ups and following his wellness regimen. Adding to the mounting scrutiny, the Philadelphia Inquirer's editorial board published a scathing op-ed on Sunday, criticizing the senator for missing votes and regularly skipping committee hearings. The board wrote, 'It's time for Fetterman to serve Pennsylvanians, or step away.' Fetterman addressed the op-ed on Monday at a forum with fellow Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick, a Republican, that aired on Fox Nation, shrugging it off as 'just not accurate.' 'I'm here, I'm doing that job,' Fetterman added. The senator told CNN last month that he plans on serving out the remaining four years of his Senate term but would not say whether he plans on running for reelection for his competitive seat in 2028. 'We're not talking about '28,' Fetterman told CNN. 'Who knows what's going to happen in '28.'
