Multiple Bay Area Big Lots stores close amid bankruptcy
Sep 20, 2024
(KRON) -- Discount retailer Big Lots has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and 10 Bay Area stores are set to close soon.
Big Lots is known for selling furniture, household essentials and home decor.
The Columbus, Ohio-based company said in a statement that 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.
