A liquidation sale is now underway as a retailer makes an unexpected closure at one of its major locations, sources report.
A Big Lots located in Leesburg, Virginia, is closing down in just weeks, launching liquidation sales of up to 20%.
The store has yet to announce a final closing date.
The shutting location is located at the Battlefield Shopping Center, 40 minutes northwest of Washington DC.
Shoppers have a limited time to buy from the furniture store, but it’s not clear when the store will shut for good.
An employee reported to The-Sun that there is no final date set.
They also said that discounts are currently set at 10% off most items, with 20% off mattresses.
It is also unclear as to what exactly led this location to close, reports the outlet.
However, this is not the first Big Lots location to shut its doors.
In late 2023, the chain announced three closures.
Locations in New York, North Carolina, and Illinois all locked up for good.
In November, the company said it was “reviewing its store footprint.”
At the time, a representative spoke to Sacramento Business Journal.
Spokesman Josh Chaney told the outlet that “consistent with standard retail practices, we review our store footprint on an ongoing basis to make sure we’re best positioned to successfully serve our customers and our business.”
