26 FL Big Lots To Be Shuttered Amid Nationwide Closures: See Where

FLORIDA — After Big Lots announced in July that some of its stores would be shuttered, the picture is being painted more clearer in showing which Florida locations may be shut down.

Big Lots has identified on its website 26 Florida stores tapped for closure. Each of the locations were marked online with a "closing this location" banner and were offering up to 20 percent off at their stores as of Tuesday afternoon.

The Ohio-based retail chain, in a July filing with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission, said it would close some of its stores after expressing uncertainty about being able to meet the terms of a credit agreement and function as a business.
