BIG LOTS will close nearly 200 more stores across the US as the chain continues to underperform financially.
The nationwide retail chain announced that it would shutter the locations via an audit on its website.
As of August 2, Big Lots boasted 1,389 stores across the US.
The slew of upcoming closures will mean the chain will lose 21% of its stores.
The retailer’s financial struggles stem from consistent net losses and a 10.2% decline in sales since 2022.
With this, the company’s stock price plummeted to $0.90 per share as of August 7, down from a January high of $8.
California will be hit the hardest by the closures, with 75 of its 109 stores on the chopping block, Fast Company reported.
Big Lots saw a net sale decrease of $114.5 million from the first quarter of 2023 to Q1 this year, federal findings show.
The decrease amounts to 10.2% of the company’s net sales.
“We experienced decreased comps and net sales in all of our merchandise categories,” the company said in June.
“Our home products categories continue to be negatively impacted by macroeconomic pressures affecting our customers’ discretionary spending.”
In the past, Big Lots said it wanted to “aggressively address underperforming stores,” ABC affiliate WFTV reported.
The chain, which has 1,389 locations, will close 22% of its stores to help pay off its $573 million long-term debt.
“The company intends to vigorously pursue its plans to enhance its liquidity [and] improve the performance of the business,” court documents said.
Earlier this year, the company closed its largest California location, which spanned an impressive 30,300 square feet.
“Consistent with standard retail practices, we review our store footprint on an ongoing basis to make sure we’re best positioned to successfully serve our customers and our business,” a spokesperson for the brand said of the Carmichael, California store.
HEADED OUT
Just last month, Conn’s HomePlus, a furniture store chain with several brands under its umbrella, like Badcock Home Furniture & More, filed for bankruptcy.
Conn’s HomePlus also cited changes in consumer habits, cost-of-living, and inflation issues in its filing.
The furniture store chain only acquired WS Badcock in December 2023, and its bankruptcy will result in more than 70 Badcock Home Furniture & More Stores nationwide by October 31.
Additionally, several fashion and clothing retailers noted similar struggles in their bankruptcy filings earlier this spring.
Express announced its Chapter 11 filing in April with at least 100 locations set to close.
Rue21 also confirmed its bankruptcy a month later and noted the closures of its 540 stores, affecting about 4,900 employees.
