Big Lots is closing up to 315 stores. Here's where. (2024)

Big Lots plans to close as many as 315 stores nationwide, the embattled discount retailer disclosed in a regulatoryfiling.

In addition to the closures, Big Lots detailed updated loan terms that reduce the Columbus, Ohio-based retailer's credit limit and hike the line's interest rate, according to the document submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. An earlier agreement allowed for as many as 150 store closings.

The expanded retreat comes a month after Big Lots announced plans to open three stores and close 35 to 40 this year, adding that it expected further operating losses and citing "substantial doubt" about its ability to continue.

Big Lots declined to comment on specific store closures, but said in an email that the chain reviews its store footprint on an ongoing basis. "While the majority of our stores are profitable, we have made the difficult decision to close certain underperforming stores," a company spokesperson said.

The retailer planned to support its "hard-working associates impacted by a closure, including by accepting requests to transfer to another Big Lots location, if they choose," the spokesperson said. Workers unable to move to another store will be given severance, the spokesperson added.

Big Lots in June reported a net loss of $205 million in the quarter ending May 4, 2024, with its president and CEO Bruce Thorn stating at the time that the company's sales had taken a hit "due largely to a continued pullback in consumer spending by our core customers, particularly in high ticket discretionary items."

The retailer's sales fell 10% to $1 billion in its first quarter, according to Big Lots, which operates more than 1,389 stores in 48 states, according to its website.

The state of California is set to lose 75 of Big Lots' 109 stores, according to the company's website, while none of the 116 locations in Texas are shown as closing.
