One discount retailer announced a couple of months ago that hundreds of stores are closing as the company wants to "aggressively address underperforming stores."

Big Lots plans on closing a few more Massachusetts stores. According to Google searches, the Dennis Port, Northampton, Ashland, Seekonk, and West Springfield locations have all permanently closed and more stores are on the chopping block including the following:

• Danvers, 10 Newbury St. Ste 5 (978) 646-9462
• Methuen (Methuen Center), 40 Jackson St. (978) 794-8250

One store that was originally on the list but has been saved from extinction is the Lynn location at 126 Boston St.

According to various online media sources, “The decision is part of the company’s ongoing restructuring process aimed at enhancing customer experience and refining its market presence.” The Lynn store will be having a grand reopening sale and is offering discounts to BIG rewards members.
