I feel like the Big Lots in my neighborhood has had a "Going out of business" sale going on for the last 10 years. They've had the sale signs up for so long that they're sun-faded. I honestly don't know how they've stuck around so long, I've never met anybody who has ever shopped there. I don't even know what they sell or what type of store it even is.
15 years ago I bought a beautiful stone-topped wooden table from them that was cheap enough to not feel bad drilling a hole in it and turning it into a sink stand for my bathroom.
It was great.
You can thank me for keeping them in business.
They sell things that are discontinued or overstock from other stores.
If Store A decides they aren't going to still widgets anymore but have a warehouse full if them they will sell them to Big Lots for cheap and who then sells them for (typically) less that they cost at Store A.
Wait, so it's a store that exclusively sells things that nobody wanted to buy in the first place? Wow, in that case I'm surprised it's taken them this long to go out of business.
I went there once or twice in the early 90's. It was a lot of new old-stock from different stores.
At one point I got a cheap plastic pool for my dog, but then in season kiddie pools are much cheaper elsewhere
