Big Lots to Have “Going out of Business” Sales at All Locations

Big Lots announced that it will be having a “going out of business sale at all of its locations.

The Colombus, Ohio based discount retailer is hoping that by selling off its merchandise will help protect its finances while seeking a buyer.

Big Lots CEO, Bruce Thorn said, “We all have worked extremely hard and have taken every step to complete a going concern sale. While we remain hopeful that we can close an alternative transaction, we have made the difficult decision to begin the GOB process in order to protect the value of the Big Lots estate.”

Customers seeking out holiday deals can expect decent discounts both online and in-store at the company’s remaining locations as it clears out its inventory of furniture, décor and pantry items. 

Big Lots did not set an end date for the sales in its release but did state its “goal would be to complete a sale by early January” of 2025.

The company has over 1,420 stores in 48 states across the U.S.  In Northwest Georgia, there are stores in Rome, Dalton, Cartersville, Fort Oglethorpe, Dallas and Kennesaw.
