BUFFALO, N.Y. — Big Lots, an Ohio-based retailer, announced in a second filing, that they will be closing 315 of its 1,389 stores across the country.
Closings are happening due to a net loss of $205 million in the first quarter of 2024, which was reported by our sister station WKYC in Columbus Ohio last month.
There are 64 Big Lots locations in New York State and 15 in Western New York. According to Big Lots locations webpage, they will be closing two Buffalo locations, located on Delaware Avenue, and South Ogden Street.
"We missed our sales goals due largely to a continued pullback in consumer spending by our core customers, particularly in high ticket discretionary items,” stated Big Lots President and CEO Bruce Thorn.
We will continue to keep this story updated as more information becomes available.
