Big Lots’ comeback begins next week

HENDERSON, N.C. – The first of four rounds of Big Lots store re-openings will kick off this Thursday, April 10 as Variety Wholesalers prepares to start up 219 locations by mid-summer.

The April openings will take place in:

  • Kentucky: 1342 Indian Mound Dr, Mount Sterling
  • Louisiana: 755 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie
  • Mississippi: 2605 W Main St, Tupelo, MS; 5778 Hwy 80 E, Pearl
  • North Carolina: 1432 E Dixie Dr, Asheboro
  • Tennessee: 1041 S Riverside Dr, Clarksville; 744 Nashville Pike, Gallatin; 220 Dickson Plaza Dr, Dickson
  • Virginia: 2911 Hershberger Rd NW, Roanoke

Variety Wholesalers plans to merchandise the locations with treasure hunt items, closeouts and “unbeatable bargains.”  The resurrected Big Lots assortment will include a new apparel department along with home décor, health and beauty items, seasonal products and more.

Future openings will take place in May and June across markets in the Eastern U.S., with approximately 55 stores going live in May. The remaining stores will open through early June.

In addition to the initial nine locations, Variety Wholesalers plans to reopen Big Lots stores in North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and West Virginia, among other states.

“We’re opening stores quickly so we can serve the community,” said Lisa Seigies, president and CEO of Variety Wholesalers. “We know the stores won’t be perfect to start, but each week we’ll add more new products as we build towards the grand opening celebration in the fall.”

Variety Wholesalers also owns and operates 380 stores in the Southeastern U.S. under the Roses, Roses Express, Maxway, Bill’s Dollar Stores, Super 10, Super Dollar and Bargain Town banners. The company acquired the Big Lots brand from Gordon Brothers, which bought Big Lots’ assets out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year.
