Variety Wholesaler, which acquired over 200 store locations last December, reopened the first chunk of Big Lots stores last week.
WASHINGTON — More than 100 Big Lots stores are set to reopen next month, with dozens opening their doors as soon as next week.
Variety Wholesaler, which acquired more than 200 Big Lots stores as part of a deal last December, reopened nine stores in early April in the first wave of store re-openings.
Starting on May 1, the company will reopen 60 stores across several states. The company said on May 15, an additional 73 stores will open.
Additionally, more stores are expected to open through early June and in the months to follow leading up to a “grand celebration” in the fall, the company said in a press release.
“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,” Lisa Seigies, president and CEO of Variety Wholesalers, said 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.
Variety Wholesaler shared that it plans currently to reopen Big Lot stores in North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, West Virginia as well as other states.
Big Lots filed for bankruptcy in 2024 and closed more than 400 stores last year. The retailer, which mostly sells furniture, home decor and some other items, previously said high inflation and interest rates have hurt its business as consumers have pulled back on their home and seasonal product purchases, two categories the chain depended on for a significant part of its revenue.
