Discount retailer Big Lots is preparing to close all of its stores after a purchase agreement fell through.
In a news release Thursday, the retailer that it is now preparing going-out-of-business sales at all of its 963 remaining locations, which include one in Grant Avenue Plaza in the town of Sennett. The sales will protect the value of the retailer's estate, it said, as it continues to try to complete a purchase agreement.
Big Lots hopes to complete an agreement by early January with Nexus Capital Management, with whom the initial agreement fell through, or another party. The move was made necessary by Big Lots filing for bankruptcy in September due to declining revenue, which led the retailer to announce the closure of about 500 stores the following month.
