Discount retail chain Big Lots may close up to 315 stores under new credit and loan terms, according to an 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday. In a public SEC filing in June, the Ohio-based retailer, which has locations in 48 states, said it planned to close 35 to 40 stores amid falling sales and speculations that it may declare bankruptcy. The new planned closing number is more than 10 times that amount.
