After Ocala-News.com published a story about a Roses location in southwest Ocala that will be converted into a Big Lots, several residents wrote in to share their opinions about the news. Here are a few of those letters:
“Yes, I will [visit the new Big Lots]. I went down to Fort Myers last month and saw a transformed Big Lots. They will have more in the way of clothing, the same food options and some furniture. Back in the days when the old Big Lots was called Big Lots and Odd Lots (think Ollie’s), you couldn’t keep me away. I have visited Roses quite a bit since I moved from Fort Myers and I like it. Unlike Kmart or Sears, this is a good marriage. Roses fans: Don’t worry, be happy.” – Randall Sundeen, Ocala
“I am so happy to see that Big Lots will be coming to Ocala. I love Big Lots. They have many things at a cheaper price and some things you can’t always find in stores. I bought several furniture pieces there as well. I like that it’s a quick shop store is you need a last-minute item.” – Alison Polish, Ocala…
