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.
