Big Lots will open 78 stores on Wednesday, June 5, the company said in a news release on Friday, May 30. The chain began reopening locations in April after it was purchased by Variety Wholesalers in December 2024.
After this wave of reopenings, Big Lots will have 219 stores back in business in the mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and South. Nine stores were the first to open on Thursday, April 10, and 132 locations joined in May.
Big Lots said its reopening plan has received "an overwhelmingly positive customer response."
"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," Variety president and CEO Lisa Seigies said. "Providing great value will always be our core mission."
Once the June reopenings happen, there will be 24 locations in Pennsylvania and 17 stores in Virginia. No Big Lots have returned in Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York.
A Big Lots spokesperson told Daily Voice that Big Lots hasn't made concrete plans to reopen stores in CT, MA, MD, NJ, and NY.
"While we do not have any stores in the Northeast on the list currently, we are constantly pursuing opportunities for expansion," the spokesperson said.
