Big Lots store openings update: Full list and map of every location that will reopen under new owner

Fans of Big Lots who were devastated when the embattled retailer filed for bankruptcy last year will be happy to learn that more than 200 locations are expected to reopen by summer.

The discount chain, which had initially been expected to close every store, struck a deal in December with Variety Wholesalers, parent company of Roses and other bargain shopping chains, which agreed to take over hundreds of leases and operate the stores under the Big Lots brand. Here’s what you need to know:

When are the Big Lots store reopening?

The stores are having their soft openings in four “waves,” with the first wave of nine stores having already opened earlier this month, as Fast Company previously reported.

A second wave of about 54 stores are expected to reopen in early May, a Variety spokesperson told Fast Company. All four waves of openings are expected to be complete by early June.

Are these actually new stores, though?

All of the locations were previously Big Lots stores whose leases have been taken over by Variety Wholesalers. The stores held going-out-of-business sales and, according to Variety, need to close for several weeks while they are remodeled and stocked with merchandise.

Big Lots is in many ways a new company now, as Variety has an established way of operating and is likely to put its own spin on things. A Variety spokesperson told Fast Company in March that it plans to sell “new categories of merchandise.”

Where are the new Big Lots stores located?

The list of stores includes 219 Big Lots locations across 15 states, mostly in the South and Midwest, according to data provided by Variety.

North Carolina, where Variety is headquartered, will see the most Big Lots locations reopen, with more than 50 stores planned for the state. South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia will also see large numbers of stores.

The full list of planned Big Lots reopenings appears below and in the interactive map above.
