Big Lots Closing 11 Stores in Michigan: Complete List

We knew it was coming, but we didn't expect it to be this, well, BIG. Big Lots, a national discount retailer specializing in discontinued and repackaged merchandise with nearly 1,400 locations, announced its intention to close around three dozen stores nationwide this year. The move is meant to bring the company back from the brink of financial ruin. Then, according to an August 2, 2024 Detroit Free Press article, the company announced they'd expanded their closure list to 300 stores nationwide, including 11 total in Michigan.
