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!'
