Big Lots, which has filed for bankruptcy protection, says it plans to close additional stores in the coming months. Here's a look at the stores the retailer is already closing.

Big Lots is planning to close stores as it goes through Chapter 11 bankruptcy. A store in Maryland left BI confused about the retailer's purpose.

Big Lots’ store closure process began this summer. The company announced each planned closing on a store-by-store basis on its website, but A&G shared the full list of 296 properties. The list indicates which properties are in this month’s auction and which will be sold later.
