It's been a challenging year for Big Lots after they've closed hundreds of stores and it doesn't appear they're done yet. Today, it was revealed that they are shuttering 50 more stores permanently and that includes a major one in Illinois.
It's not completely unexpected, but still sad that Big Lots announced today that they're closing more than 300 stores and I've confirmed that includes a half dozen locations in Missouri.
Kids, this past weekend I got to go to a rare Sunday live broadcast. It was in the parking lot of Big Lots, and it was for the Pettis County Community Partnership. They were accepting donations for their storage sheds. Apparently they had two whole sheds that they needed to fill with household goods and such to give to the needy of Pettis County.
