Big Lots Suddenly Closing 50 More Stores Including 2 in Illinois

It's been a challenging year for Big Lots after they've closed hundreds of stores and it doesn't appear they're done yet. Today, it was revealed that they are shuttering 50 more stores permanently and that includes at least 2 more in Illinois.

You can add 50 more stores to the 300 that Big Lots closed a few weeks ago. The Hill is reporting that among them are two Illinois locations. They say these Illinois Big Lots will be closing forever.

This is the Big Lots at 2004 W Springfield Ave in Champaign, Illinois. The official store page for the Champaign Big Lots confirms this report with this graphic on their website.

The same is true for the Big Lots located at 4050 183rd St in Country Club Hills, Illinois.

It's unclear if the approximately 350 Big Lots store closing announcements will be the final number or if there are more to come.

As this is a developing story, it will be updated if new information and/or locations are announced.
