More Big Lots stores across Illinois to close: See the full list here
Editor’s Note: The video in this report is from a previous story.
Discount furniture retailer Big Lots will close more Illinois stores than initially expected following a bankruptcy protection filing earlier this year, its website showed Friday.
The Ohio-based chain, which sells furniture, home décor and other items, filed for Chapter 11 earlier this year, saying high inflation, interest rates and lower consumer demand on certain products hurt the business. It later announced that hundreds of stores across the country were set to close, including 9 out of 28 stores in Illinois.
Those stores, located primarily in the Chicago suburbs, closed their doors earlier this fall. However, according to Big Lots website, four additional store closings were added to the list.
As of Oct. 18, here’s which Big Lots stores have closed or will soon close in Illinois, according to its website:
