100 Big Lots stores in North Carolina and South Carolina will soon shut their doors for good.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Update: After announcing all Big Lots stores will close just a week ago, the company now says 200 to 400 locations may be saved thanks to a last minute sale.
Nearly 1,000 Big Lots stores will close soon as the retail company plans to hold a “going out of business” sale.
The company was sold to a private equity firm and will shut down for good, according to a press release on Thursday.
Big Lots, which mostly sells furniture, home decor, and some other items, previously said high inflation and interest rates have hurt its business as consumers have pulled back on their home and seasonal product purchases, two categories the chain depends on for a significant part of its revenue.
There are 66 Big Lots stores in North Carolina and 34 Big Lots stores in South Carolina, which will all be closed unless the company’s plans change.
There are no Big Lots stores currently in Charlotte but many shoppers in the Charlotte area can stop by these locations for deals as the company moves closer to shutting down.
