Biglot stores are set to reopen in six states
Many large lot stores are expected to reopen on April 10th despite filing for bankruptcy last year and closing several locations.
No Brands – News Value
Biglot’s comeback continues to grow.
Biglot is scheduled to open more than 70 stores across the United States on June 5th. The expected opening will take place just weeks after Biglot opened dozens of stores on May 15th.
The opening comes months after Big Lots announced its sale to Gordon Brothers Retail Partners. As part of the deal, variety wholesalers have acquired 219 big lot stores and two distribution centres.
“We are excited to bring a large lot! We bring the brand back to life by offering a new apparel division for more well-known brands and for the whole family than ever before,” Lisa Sajees, CEO of variety wholesalers, said in a news release on April 4th.
Which big lot shops have reopened?
The June 5th Big Lot opening will be held in nine states: Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Other retailers taking over the location of the big lot
Apart from variety wholesalers, other retailers have announced the purchase of the Big Lot location. Rhode Island-based Ocean Statelot announced that it will purchase 15 big lots in New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont in March.
In February, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet said it would buy the location of 40 former Big Lot Stores.
