Georgia’s Big Lots Stores Set to Close Soon
Hey there, Georgia shoppers! If you’re a fan of the bargain retail chain Big Lots, we have some news that might change your shopping plans. It has been announced that eight more Big Lots locations in our great state will soon be closing their doors.
Locations Affected
The closures will specifically impact stores in the following cities:
- Augusta: 2708 Peach Orchard Rd
- Cartersville: 160 Market Square
- Douglasville: 2842 Chapel Hill Road
- Duluth: 2950 Venture Drive

- Snellville: 2059 Scenic Hwy N
- Union City: 6851 Shannon Pkwy
While the specific closing dates have not been made public just yet, one thing is clear: these stores are officially waving goodbye. And if you’re in the market for some deals, many locations are currently running going out of business sales with discounts ranging from 20% to 30% off various items. It’s a great chance to snag some bargains as they clear out their inventory!
What’s Driven These Changes?
You might be wondering why Big Lots is making these moves. Earlier in the year, the retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which allowed them to try and restructure their business amid some challenging financial times. Since that filing, they have announced several waves of store closures, and these recent eight stores are a part of that trend.
Just to put things in perspective, at the end of September, Big Lots filed documentation in bankruptcy court stating that they are closing 49 more locations across the country. This adds to the nearly 300 closures that were already announced back in August. While it’s disappointing to see so many stores close, it’s been an eventful year for the retailer as they try to navigate through these uncertain times.
