Big Lots! to Complete Reopening Phase June 5, Eyes Further Growth Due to Overwhelming Customer Support

Big Lots!, a leading discount retailer known for its treasure hunt shopping experience, closeouts, and unbeatable bargains, announces the fourth and final wave of its store reopenings, with 78 additional locations set to welcome customers on June 5, 2025. These stores are located in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

This will bring the total number of reopened Big Lots! stores to 219, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s resurgence under new ownership, Variety Wholesalers.

The phased reopening strategy that began in April has been met with an overwhelmingly positive customer response. Returning loyal customers and new shoppers alike have expressed enthusiasm for the wide array of branded favorites and incredible bargains across all categories, including apparel and home decor. The renewed Big Lots! experience, emphasizing exceptional value and a compelling product mix, has clearly resonated with communities.

“The connection with the communities we serve, and the positive customer feedback has been more than we could have imagined,” said Lisa Seigies, President and CEO of Variety Wholesalers. “This enthusiastic response reinforces our belief that taking Big Lots! back to the roots of what made it a huge success resonates with our customers. Providing great value will always be our core mission.”

The success of the series of reopenings has spurred Variety Wholesalers to explore options for acquiring additional Big Lots! locations, further signaling their commitment to the brand’s long-term growth and expansion.

These successful reopenings are setting the stage for a grand opening celebration this fall. Big Lots! plans to host a grand reopening event across all 219 store locations, featuring exciting deals at unbelievable values to welcome local communities back and to thank them for their unwavering support. Details of the grand reopening event will be announced in the coming months.
