Discount retailer Big Lots plans to close up to 315 stores nationwide, including four in the Philadelphia area, as the chain struggles with financial difficulties. The Columbus, Ohio-based company, which sells low-cost groceries, home furnishings, and toys, recently increased its projected closures from 150 stores in a filing with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission. While no closure dates have been announced, the company’s website lists affected stores with sales of up to 20%. Earlier this summer, Big Lots suggested that up to 40 stores could close by year’s end.
