Big Lots

Hundreds of stores are being closed across the U.S. Here are some of the notable chains shutting down locations.

Big Lots closed nationwide in 2024, but signs in Fairhaven suggest the store could reopen if the chain desires. Shopping carts and shelves remain inside, ready for a comeback.

The first wave of stores are already reopened. A second wave is scheduled for next month and will include these stores.

At least one chain is buying up several leases of former Big Lots stores as part of an aggressive expansion plan.

The lease sales offer a preview of which states might be seeing less of this chain in the future.

Fairhaven's Big Lots will begin its going out of business sale, as all the stores in the retail chain are scheduled to shutter unless a new buyer is found soon.

Seekonk's Big Lots will close, one of five in Massachusetts that will shutter their doors after the announcement the chain would close 35-40 stores nationwide.

Despite national headlines about store closings and a confusing Boston-area news report, the Fairhaven Big Lots assures customers the store is still open.
