It’s official: Big Lots is closing for good.
The national retailer announced today that it will be shuttering all of its stores nationwide, including its locations in the United States and Canada. The move comes as a surprise to many, as Big Lots has been a staple in the retail industry for decades.
Big Lots has been struggling in recent years, and has been forced to close several stores in recent months. The company has been unable to compete with larger retailers like Walmart and Target, and has been feeling the effects of the ongoing pandemic.
This is a blow to the retail industry, as Big Lots was one of the last remaining big-box retailers. Many people are now wondering if this is the beginning of the end for brick-and-mortar stores.
Is Big Lots closing for good?
It’s hard to say. While this is certainly a setback for the company, it’s possible that Big Lots could make a comeback. Only time will tell.
