Is Big Lots closing in Oklahoma? How nationwide closures impact 18 in-state stores

After filing for bankruptcy protections, Big Lots is closing its doors nationwide, with the remaining stores holding “going out of business sales.” 

There are only five locations in the Oklahoma City metro, but according to a company press release, all stores will begin the closing process.

“The Company is preparing to commence going out of business (GOB) sales at all remaining Big Lots store locations in the coming days to protect the value of its estate,” Big Lots said in the press release. 

Here’s what this means for Oklahoma City’s locations. 

Big Lots national closure could be reversed if company is bought

Big Lots CEO Bruce Thorn said the closures could be reversed if a company sale is completed. Because of this, Big Lots said it would continue to serve customers in-store and online but did not specify how long the sales would last.

“While we remain hopeful that we can close an alternative going concern transaction, in order to protect the value of the Big Lots estate, we have made the difficult decision to begin the GOB process,” Big Lots said in the press release. 

Where are OKC’s Big Lots locations?

Oklahoma City metro has 5 locations. Since this is the start of the GOB process, it cannot be confirmed when or if they will close. There are 18 locations in Oklahoma.

They are each located at: 

• 3000 NW 63 St
