List: These Big Lots Stores Will Stay Open

Big Lots’ Future: Which Stores Will Stay Open, and Which Won’t?

Big Lots, the popular discount retailer known for offering a wide range of products from home goods to groceries, has recently undergone a major shift with a new owner. As part of their restructuring efforts, the new management has drawn up a list of stores they plan to keep open, and unfortunately, many locations across the country won’t make the cut.

For shoppers in Indiana, the news is bittersweet. The new owners have decided to retain only one Big Lots location in the state, and that’s the store in Jasper. While it’s certainly a relief for Jasper residents, it also means that Big Lots fans in other parts of Indiana may have to travel farther for their shopping needs.

Big Lots’ Strategic Shift

The decision to close or restructure several stores is part of a broader trend within the retail industry, where many companies are reassessing their footprints in light of changing consumer habits and the ongoing impact of e-commerce. For Big Lots, this means focusing on their most profitable locations and potentially revamping their offerings.  Additionally, it’s possible that Big Lots will reinvest in its remaining stores, upgrading their look or expanding inventory to attract more customers.
