To address the financial difficulties of a popular retail chain, several stores in Ohio are being closed.
National big-box store chain Big Lots, known for offering customers the opportunity to shop inexpensive home goods, is apparently closing nearly 300 of its 1,389 stores nationwide, after initially announcing plans to close only about 40 locations due to the company’s financial difficulties. Big Lots reported a $114.5 million drop in sales from the first quarter of 2023 to the first quarter of 2024 and saw an 84% drop in inventory last year.
To solve its financial problems and avoid bankruptcy, the company is apparently closing hundreds of stores across the U.S. While dozens of stores are closing in states like California, only a handful are affected in Ohio.
Of the 102 Big Lots stores in the Buckeye State, six are set to close, according to the company’s website, which features a sale offer and a banner announcing the closure of the selected stores. Here are all of the Big Lots stores in Ohio that are set to close:
- 11372 Princeton Pike, Cincinnati
- 9690 Colerain Ave., Cincinnati
- 359 Miamisburg Centerville Rd., Dayton
- 1520 N. Clinton St., Defiance
- 1170 Indiana Ave., Saint Mary’s
- 7779 Tylersville Rd., West Chester
