Big Lots Is Back—78 Stores Are Reopening Across The Country
Big Lots made its comeback official by reopening the final wave of 78 stores. Dozens of locations in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia opened on June 5, bringing the total number of reopened Big Lots to 219. Henderson, North Carolina-based Variety Wholesalers operates the stores. The company also owns Roses Discount Stores. 'The connection with the communities we serve, and the positive customer feedback has been more than we could have imagined,' Variety Wholesalers President Lisa Seigies stated in a news release. 'This enthusiastic response reinforces our belief that taking Big Lots! back to the roots of what made it a huge success resonates with our customers. Providing great value will always be our core mission.' Not everyone is happy, as some Big Lots have closed for good and others are getting rebranded. Variety Wholesalers mostly scooped up locations in the Southeast and Midwest with the intention of continuing to use the Big Lots name. Some discount retailers picked up leases in other parts of the country with plans to convert them. According to USA Today, Pennsylvania-based Ollie's also has converted a few Big Lots in the South. Old Big Lots have reopened as Ollie's Bargain Outlets in Thomson, Georgia; Natchitoches, Louisiana; Union City, Tennessee; Madisonville, Kentucky; and Galveston and Corpus Christi North, Texas. Ollie's has announced plans to reopen more stores in early July in Oklahoma and Land O' Lakes, Florida. Their motto is "Good Stuff Cheap," so at least shoppers know they'll find good deals.
