COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Big Lots is closing out October with storewide savings and a grand reopening celebration at dozens of locations across Ohio.
The retailer’s comeback, led by North Carolina-based Variety Wholesalers, follows the acquisition of more than 200 Big Lots stores and the brand’s intellectual property in early 2025. Throughout the past several months, Variety has reopened locations nationwide in four waves, including 28 in Ohio.
“We’re proud to bring Big Lots back — better than ever,” said Lisa Seigies, CEO of Variety Wholesalers. “Our team has worked hard to restore the value, selection and experience customers love.”
