Another Big Retailer With Hundreds Of Stores Across The Country Announces A Round Of Store Closings But How Many Stores In Texas Will Be Affected?

Just a few days removed from Conn's Home Plus announcing that they would be closing dozens of locations including many here in Texas, we're finding out that another discount retailer will be closing hundreds of locations nationwide.

The discount retailer Big Lots is closing up to 340 locations nationwide.

Like many traditional retailers who have struggled since the pandemic and plunging sales, Big Lots announced in June that it was facing several areas of financial strain that would result in hundreds of stores closing across the country.

But an updated filing with the SEC on Sept. 11 revealed that they would have to close way more stores than they originally thought. Big Lots listed 1,389 stores nationwide on its website, and they plan to close 344 locations across 44 states.

California Will See The Biggest Hit.

According to its website, 75 of California's 109 stores are slated for closure, the most of any state followed by Florida (28), Arizona (22) and Texas (16).

More than half of the country (36 states in total) will see stores close in their state.
