6 More Connecticut Big Lots Stores On Closure List: Here's Where

CONNECTICUT — Big Lots officials have identified a half-dozen more Connecticut stores designated for closure. The moves are being prompted by financial doom and gloom outlined in an earnings report.

Just like late last month, when three were identified, the latest six stores on the closure list were announced individually on the chain's Connecticut store locator function, located on the company website. They come on the heels of an earnings statement that mentioned a decline in net sales and a possible credit snafu.

The six latest stores on the hit list are:

• Windsor at 560 Windsor Ave.
• Newington at 3105 Berlin Turnpike.
• New Milford at 169 Danbury Road.
• Waterbury at 650 Wolcott St.
• Torrington at 1931 E Main St.
• Norwich at 42 Town St.

The three stores to be shuttered that were announced in July are:

• Manchester on Pleasant Valley Road
• Milford on Turnpike Square
• Waterford on Boston Post Road

The remaining stores open in the state incloude:

• Bristol
• Derby
• East Hartford
• East Haven
• Middletown
• North Haven
• Norwich
• Wallingford

"Store closing" sales are being undertaken at each doomed location.

In a July filing with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission, Big Lots officials divulged plans to close as many as 40 of its 1,392 stores nationwide and the discount retailer warned in a regulatory report that it has "substantial doubts" it can continue as a functioning business.

Big Lots is based in Columbus, Ohio.

In the SEC filing, company officials said there is a "significant likelihood" that Big Lots won't be able to meet the terms of a credit agreement. Big Lots last month reported a net loss of $205 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
