Georgia stores opened in May in Augusta, Brunswick, Cornelia, Fort Oglethorpe, Valdosta, Buford, Dallas, Marietta, Smyrna, Vidalia and Waycross.
It’s been a topsy-turvy time for Big Lots shoppers.
The company filed for bankruptcy in September 2024 and closed all stores. Since then, other companies have purchased the locations.

Variety Wholesalers bought 219 Big Lots stores out of bankruptcy and has been reopening stores since April.
The company said visitors to the stores “will experience remodeled stores, a large selection of closeout deals and new merchandise categories, including apparel for the family and electronics.”
A grand opening celebration will take place this fall.
