78 Big Lots stores reopening tomorrow: Full list by state
Big Lots is coming back! All hope seemed to be lost for the home discount retail chain when it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year. However, another discount retail chain company called Variety Wholesalers swooped in to buy 219 Big Lots Stores from the liquidator- Gordon Brothers. Variety Wholesalers will now be opening its last slot of purchased stores for customers on Thursday (June 5).
'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 a press release. '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!'
Variety Wholesalers owns many retail chains like Bargain Town and Super Dollar itself. It had announced plans to operate the 219 stores acquired from Gordon Brothers under the Big Lots brand name after a period of renovation and re-merchandising. The company announced that stores would be re-opened in about four stages, three of which have already been completed.
Beginning in April, nine stores were re-opened across six states in the first wave, 54 stores in 12 states in the second wave, and 78 stores across 13 states in the third wave.
Under its fourth wave, 78 stores will be opened across 9 states- 7 in Florida, 3 in Georgia, 1 in Kentucky, 22 in North Carolina, 13 in Ohio, 11 in Pennsylvania, 10 in South Carolina, 5 in Tennessee, and 6 in Virginia.

EchoStar prepares potential bankruptcy filing amid FCC review: Report
EchoStar is considering a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing as the telecommunications services firm vies to shield its cache of wireless spectrum licenses from the threat of revocation by federal regulators, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The company declined to comment on the report. Last month, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) notified EchoStar it was investigating the company's compliance with certain federal obligations to provide 5G service in the U.S., questioning EchoStar's buildout extension and mobile-satellite service. FCC's actions have severely limited the company's ability to make strategic decisions regarding the growth and investment of its Boost Mobile business, according to a regulatory filing by the company last month. EchoStar has previously disclosed that it missed roughly $500 million in interest payments, citing uncertainty around the ongoing FCC review . U.S. satellite TV provider DirecTV terminated its agreement to acquire EchoStar's satellite television business last year, which includes rival Dish TV, over a failed debt-exchange offer.

Airline Gol Makes International Push to Cut Brazil Risk After Chapter 11
(Bloomberg) -- Brazilian airline Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes SA is ramping up international expansion as part of a strategy to boost growth and reduce dependence on its home market after exiting Chapter 11, Chief Executive Officer Celso Ferrer said in an interview. The company wants a quarter of its business to come from outside the country to offset risks like currency fluctuations and fuel cost pressures, which led Gol and most of its major peers to seek protection from creditors in past few years. Azul SA, which was looking to merge with Gol, filed just last week. 'If today I'm not finding enough passengers here in Brazil, I'll pick them up in Buenos Aires,' the CEO said. The move will also allow it to tap 'broader demand pools' as high interest rates and inflation limit consumer spending in Latin America's largest economy, he added. The company currently gets about 20% of its total capacity from 16 international routes, most of which are in Latin America. Gol is expected to begin flying to Caracas, Venezuela in August, according to Ferrer. Gol filed for Chapter 11 in January 2024, capping its ill-fated efforts to bounce back from the Covid-19 pandemic after completing some 10 liability management exercises or capital raises. The airline exited the process this week with a leverage of 5.4 times a measure of earnings. That's higher than the 4.7 times in net leverage it reported in the first quarter of 2024. Ferrer acknowledged the number is still elevated, and said Gol has a 'clear plan' to lower that by nearly 50% by 2027. Gol's plans include improving operations and earnings, and not taking on more debt, he added. The CEO also said the company has a 'robust' liquidity position of around $900 million upon exit, and that it was able to extend its debt maturities in the process. The carrier's shares have gained around 17% since May 20, after Gol announced it expected to exit Chapter 11 in June. Fallout from the pandemic, persistent inflation and high interest rates took a toll on Latin American airlines. Major regional carriers Latam Airlines Group, Avianca Holdings SA and Grupo Aeromexico SAB filed for bankruptcy in the US in 2020. Brazilian carriers were hit particularly hard by a mismatch in revenues in local currencies and dollar-denominated costs like fuel, leases and foreign debt. They also didn't receive any aid from the government. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva pushed for a rescue plan for struggling airlines in 2024. But almost a year and a half later, the 4 billion reais ($715 million) in promised aid hasn't reached the companies. Government officials have said they still expect the money to come through in the next three months. 'Today we've restructured our debt so we don't depend on the government,' Ferrer said, adding that Gol made a point not to take into account any aid in its plan. If the money is ultimately made available, Gol would be open to swapping out more expensive debt for lower-cost financing from Brazil's national development bank, known as BNDES, he added. After the Chapter 11 process, Gol is eligible to access government financing again. 'What sets Brazil apart, what puts Brazilian airlines at a disadvantage, is the cost of capital,' Ferrer said, adding that Gol is working closely with the government and other carriers through the trade association to make this a 'structural agenda.' 'This needs to be a national policy — fair, transparent, and not favoring one airline over another,' he added. More stories like this are available on
