The first wave of Big Lots! store openings under the ownership of Variety Wholesalers have been unveiled.

The store locations include:
• Kentucky: 1342 Indian Mound Dr, Mount Sterling

“We're thrilled to bring the Big Lots! brand back to life by offering more deals than ever, lots of famous brands and a new apparel department for the entire family,” said Lisa Seigies, president and CEO of Variety Wholesalers. “We’re opening stores quickly so we can serve the community. We know the stores won’t be perfect to start, but each week we’ll add more new products as we build towards the grand opening celebration in the fall.”
Variety Wholesalers will reopen the remaining acquired locations in subsequent waves, with approximately 55 stores in the second wave opening on Thursday, May 1. The remaining stores will open through early June and lead up to a grand opening celebration that will take place across all stores this fall. BigLots.com and Big Lots! social media channels will feature more news and updates on store announcements.
Variety Wholesalers’ acquisition of Big Lots! stores marks a significant expansion for the company, further solidifying its position as a leading discount retailer. The company’s portfolio includes brands such as Roses, Roses Express, and Maxway.
In addition to the initial nine locations, Variety Wholesalers plans to reopen Big Lots! stores in North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and West Virginia, among other states.
