More Big Lots in Arizona are closing. Here’s which stores are affected and which remain Article originally posted on AZ Central on October 1, 2024 Two new Big Lots locations in Arizona are closing, joining a list of 21 stores across the state that have either closed or were in the process of closing. Since July, Big Lots has announced that it will close hundreds of stores nationwide as it files for bankruptcy. The retailer has struggled amid rising prices, a decrease in consumer spending, and the shift towards online shopping. The closures will allow Big Lots to have a “more focused footprint” and conduct business more efficiently, said Bruce Thorn, president and chief executive of Big Lots, in a news release from Sept. 9. In August, the chain boasted 34 locations across the state. Now, it’s down to only 10 stores with no plans to close. Here are the locations of the new Big Lots closures and the stores that are still open. Which new stores are closing? Apache Junction: 10603 E. Apache Trail. Up to 25% off closing sale.
