Big Lots to close two stores in Western New York
Big Lots is closing more than 300 locations across the country, at least two of which are here in Western New York.
Those are the Linden Corners on Delaware Ave. location and the one on South Ogden St.
Big Lots’ official website states that there will be a sale of up to 20% on most items in those stores.

Big Lots currently has 1,392 stores nationwide, including 64 in New York.
