Big Lots is closing 2 more Indiana stores

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Two Indiana locations are joining the ever-growing list of Big Lots stores that are closing as part of the retailer’s bankruptcy filing .

Since Big Lots filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this month, more than 300 stores were earmarked for closure, including five Indiana locations. The retailer already confirmed its plans to close about 250 stores by mid-January in addition to the 300+ stores that have closed or will close soon.

One Indiana store designated for closure in July, on Markland Avenue in Kokomo, is already closed.

Now, two more Big Lots stores in central Indiana are preparing two shut their doors. Each store’s web page features bright orange banners reading “closing this location” and advertising sale prices “up to 20% off.”
