Multiple Bay Area Big Lots stores close amid bankruptcy

( KRON ) — Discount retailer Big Lots has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and 10 Bay Area stores are set to close soon.

Big Lots is known for selling furniture, household essentials and home decor.

The Columbus, Ohio-based company said in a statement that high inflation and interest rates have hurt its business as consumers have pulled back on their home and seasonal product purchases, two categories the chain depends on for a significant part of its revenue.

Here are the Bay area stores impacted by the closures:

• Concord: 2060 Monument Boulevard; Concord, CA 94520
• Fairfield: 1500 Oliver Road; Fairfield, CA 94534
• Gilroy: 360 E 10th Street; Gilroy, CA 95020
• Hercules: 1551 Sycamore; Hercules, CA 94547
• Livermore: 4484 Las Positas Road; Livermore, CA 94551
• Milpitas: 111 Ranch Drive; Milpitas, CA 95035
• Rohnert Park: 565 Rohner Park Expressway; Rohner Park, CA 94928
• Santa Clara: 3735 El Camino Real; Santa Clara, CA 95051
• Santa Rosa: 2055 Mendocino Avenue; Santa Rosa, CA 95401
• Vacaville: 818 Alamo Drive; Vacaville, CA 95688

KRON4 has reached out to multiple stores. The Livermore location is slated to close Saturday. A few of the stores said they are set to close on Sunday, Sept. 29, including locations in Vacaville, Santa Rosa and Milpitas. Other stores have said they will remain open until all inventory is sold.
