Big Lots confirms all 1,075 stores will close for entire day forcing shoppers to search elsewhere for last minute items
The biggest discount store, Big Lots, has confirmed that it would be shutting on Christmas Day.
During the impending retail blackout, all 1,075 shops will close, leaving you with little options for holiday shopping elsewhere.
Along with well-known bargain outlets Dollar Tree and Dollar General, major names like Target, Walmart, and Costco are all closing for the holiday season.
Customers will need to finish their holiday shopping by December 25th because so many brands will be celebrating the holiday.
Customers must be extremely prepared, even if it’s the ideal time for diligent shop employees to unwind and spend the holidays with loved ones.
The busiest weeks are the final two weeks before Christmas, when people scramble to complete their purchases of presents, household goods, and festive décor.

Planning ahead is essential to ensuring you don’t get caught off guard during the impending blackout.
To avoid last-minute stress, it might be advisable to try to finish your shopping before Christmas Eve.
However, Big Lotsis Stores open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET on Christmas Eve, so there’s still time to get your hands on anything you might have forgotten.
There is still a full nine hours of potential present-buying time even though it is an early closure from the regular 9am to 9pm opening hours.
The corporation is open for business on December 26 and only closes on Christmas Day otherwise.
Additionally, we anticipate that on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, the discount behemoth will be open at its usual hours.
BIG BANKRUPTCY
Big Lots has other retail blackouts besides Christmas.
The company announced hundreds of store closures nationwide when it filed for bankruptcy in September.
News of an additional 19 locations last month and 56 store closures in October followed.
A total of 545 stores are anticipated to permanently close.

For instance, on Christmas Day, Walmart, Target, Macy’s, The Home Depot, and Kohl’s will all be closed.
