Troubled Retail Chain Selling 500 Store Leases in These 47 States
One of the hardest hit retail chains in recent years is ready to dump hundreds of store leases across the U.S.
What's Next For Big Lots?
Big Lots was acquired out of bankruptcy court at the last minute to start this year. Several locations have already closed with others possibly getting a new look.
According to Business of Home some locations will continue to carry Big Lots branding while others will be retooled to be "less furniture-centric" and possibly go by a different name.
Many of the storefronts and distribution centers were sold to Gordon Brothers Retail Partners. According to the Clarion Ledger, the company has plans to keep 200-400 Big Lots locations open at this time.
With nearly 900 Big Lots stores scattered across the U.S., that leaves a whole lot of empty storefronts. But that might be changing soon.
Big Lots Leases Being Sold In 47 States
Gordon Brothers has listed more than 500 store leases for sale on its website. According to information posted by the company, the leases are for buildings that range in size from 18,963 to 54,933 square feet.
