In Maryland, closures include Frederick, Salisbury, and Westminster, among 15 total locations shutting down statewide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These closures come after Big Lots announced in mid-December that it would be going out of business and closing all stores. Shortly after, the company struck a deal with Gordon Brothers and Variety Wholesalers, allowing between 200 and 400 stores to remain open, potentially saving thousands of jobs. However, it remains unclear which locations will be part of that deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In mid-January, Gordon Brothers released a list of Big Lots store leases for sale, suggesting that those locations were not among the ones being saved. A second updated list has now been published, confirming additional closures. While the store closures in Delaware and Maryland are definitive, Big Lots has until April 7 to finalize the list of locations that will remain open under Variety Wholesalers and other retailers. Until then, employees and customers in other regions still face uncertainty about the future of their local stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milford, DE &#8211; Big Lots has confirmed multiple store closures across Delaware and Maryland as part of its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, leaving many communities without the discount retailer.
