The Growing List of Big Lots Store Closures

The discount retailer is having a rough time in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy. But the company has vowed to shut an extra 19 stores – with the overall closures totaling more than 340. It is quite bad news for the company, as well as its loyal customers.

Nexus Capital Management LP, which acquired Big Lots back in January 2023, is the principal cause for this round of Big Lots store closures. Big Lots is cutting costs to enhance profitability as part of the sale agreement. Although many locations do still generate profits, the company has recognized some underperforming stores.
