Big Lots is closing. Where to find stores for going-out-of-business sales in South Jersey

Closing sales are underway at all stores in the Big Lots Inc. chain, which filed for voluntary bankruptcy protection Sept. 9.

In New Jersey, 18 Big Lots sites remain, including ones in Burlington, Gloucester and Cumberland counties. The Big Lots outlet at Collegetown Shopping Center in Glassboro was among recent stores to close.

Big Lots is using several firms to handle closing sales at its remaining 869 stores across the country. Gordon Brothers, one of those firms, announced the closing sales Monday while stressing the opportunities for customers.

The discount retailer is offering up to 25% off original prices on all merchandise and 50% off Christmas and harvest offerings, according to a Gordon Brothers representative.

“New arrivals in seasonal merchandise are on sale just in time for customers to buy gifts that are sure to delight everyone on their holiday shopping list at incredible savings,” Retail Managing Director Durien Sanchez said.

The discounts are to apply at retail stores only, not online, and all sales are final.

On Tuesday, the usual store telephone greetings already had been replaced with a uniform announcement that closing sales had started.

“The entire store is on sale. When it’s gone, it’s gone,” the message stated.

What is Big Lots?

Big Lots, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, offers discount-priced home items such as furniture, décor, pantry essentials, kitchenware, groceries and pet supplies. The company generally buys inventory from production overruns, packaging changes and discontinued products.

The chain ordered a first series of store closings in July 2024 and a second series in August 2024. In New Jersey, the chain had 27 stores as of 2023.

On Dec. 19, Big Lots announced that it doesn’t expect to finalize a previously announced asset sale to Nexus Capital Management. The company said it continues to work on finding a buyer with a hope to complete a sale in early January 2025.

Hilco Consumer-Retail and Tiger Capital Group also are involved with Gordon Brothers in the closing sales operation.
