(NEXSTAR) — The return of Big Lots began last week as nine stores — now under new ownership as part of the brand's 2024 bankruptcy filing — opened across six states. Now, a second wave of Big Lots stores are preparing to reopen.
It's all part of a deal Big Lots closed with Gordon Brothers Retail Partners earlier this year. The deal outlined that Variety Wholesalers would acquire hundreds of Big Lots stores, which would retain the original branding.
Nine of those stores reopened last week.
Can you fly without a REAL ID after the May deadline?"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 announcing the reopening store locations. She noted that while stores are opening quickly to serve their respective communities, "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," she continued. "Every time a customer visits Big Lots! we want them to find something new and exciting!"
Now, dozens more former Big Lots stores are preparing to reopen in May.
There are two waves planned, according to a list Variety Wholesalers provided to Nexstar. The first are scheduled to open on May 1 while the second group will open on May 15.
