In a significant development for Indiana shoppers, Big Lots has announced yet another wave of store closures across the state. Locations in Indianapolis, Crawfordsville, Evansville, and Noblesville are set to close their doors as part of the retailer’s broader strategy to reduce its footprint.
This recent decision follows an earlier announcement in July when Big Lots identified two Indiana stores for closure. The company had plans to shut down up to 40 stores nationwide, with a commitment to open only three new locations.
According to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Big Lots intends to close between 35 and 40 stores this year while strategically opening a limited number of new ones. Here’s a detailed look at the Indiana locations impacted:
