Three of Connecticut’s Big Lots stores are closing. Here’s where they are
Connecticut is losing three of its Big Lots stores.
The Manchester, Milford and Waterford locations are closing. A closing sale of up to 20% off, with limited exceptions applied, has already started at each location, according to the website.
The big box discount retail chain primarily sells furniture and décor products, as well as food and clothing, so shoppers will have to find other places for affordable finds.
These closures also follow the recent trend of retailers closing up locations.
Here are their exact addresses in case you want to grab those closing deals:
- 1470 Pleasant Valley Road, Manchester, Connecticut 06042
- 56 Turnpike Square, Milford, Connecticut 06460
- 40 Boston Post Road, Waterford, Connecticut 06385
Why is Big Lots closing stores
The discount retail chain Big Lots announced they will be closing dozens of stores this year across the country.
Big Lots stated in a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that 35 to 40 of their store locations would close this year – but they also plan to open three stores this year.
“In 2024, the U.S. economy has continued to face macroeconomic challenges including elevated inflation, which has adversely impacted the buying power of our customers,” the filing said.
According to the financial disclosure, sales dropped 10.2% between the first quarters of 2023 and 2024, equating to a loss of about $114.5 million.
