EAST HAVEN, CT – Big Lots opening date has been set as Friday, June 23rd.
The store will be located in the old Xpect Discount location off Frontage Road.

Big Lots has 13 other stores in Connecticut, including ones in Wallingford, North Haven, Milford and Derby Big Lots is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.
Its department stores sell a wide variety of merchandise, including packaged food and beverages, toys, furniture, clothing, housewares, and small electronics, much of which is closed out or overstocked merchandise.
Many of the items in these stores sell out quickly: in the store one day, but gone the next, with no replenishments coming. Many other items, such as foodstuffs, are stocked continually.
In many cases, Big Lots uses buildings formerly occupied by other stores. The East Haven Xpect store, which closed at the end of March of this year, was one of the last ones to operate in Connecticut.
