What went wrong at Big Lots (modernretail.co)

Better question is what ever went right for them. What exactly is the draw? Do I need a patio set marked down to 50% more than what it costs at Amazon or Lowe's? Not this year, sorry.


There used to be one near my house and my wife and I would pop in occasionally. They were always poorly organized and trying to do too much. Nothing ever stood out as a reason to go back or as a "bargain". We would typically only end up with a couple of items we could have bought elsewhere (usually seasonal decorations) or just leave empty handed. MIL bought a couple pieces of furniture there and it fell apart faster than anything you could get at Ikea at a better price.
