Big Lots has always been a great store to get everyday needed household items. I even bought a couch at Big Lots once! You really can't beat the prices, and they have always had a great selection of goods. In July 2024, Big Lots announced the closure of 35 to 40 underperforming locations nationwide, blaming iNFLation and high rising costs as part of the decision.

The company warned that it might not be able to survive the rest of 2024 and that a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing might be imminent; in the first quarter of 2024, net sales decreased 10.2% compared to the first quarter of 2023. Of the company's 1,400 stores nationwide, 144 stores were confirmed that month to be closing.  In a July 31 filing, Big Lots reported it could close up to 315 stores.

What a bummer! Always loved that Big Lots store and its sad to see it closing. Good news for area Big Lots fans is that there is another area location that will apparently remain open in nearby Wappingers Falls at 1574 Route 9.
