The company assisting Big Lots with its bankruptcy proceeding has produced a list of locations likely to remain in operation, and the Butler Township location, at 190 Alameda Plaza, is not one of them.

An employee at the Big Lots was able to confirm this information, as they were told by corporate that they will be closing, but they were not told when the store will officially shut its doors.

Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, the Boston-based asset liquidation firm assisting Big Lots in the process, provided a list of 200 locations with leases or contracts designated to be taken over by Variety Wholesalers, in a court filing Monday, Feb. 3, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

In December 2024, retail company Variety Wholesalers, headquartered in Henderson, N.C., said it would take over 200 to 400 Big Lots stores under at deal with Gordon Brothers Retail Partners.

The Big Lots stores listed in the court filing as likely to remain open are in 14 states, including 22 locations in Pennsylvania.

Objections to Variety Wholesalers taking over the locations of any of the 200 stores must be filed with the court by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 18, according to the court filing.

Variety Wholesalers owns more than 400 stores in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast with chains such as Roses Discount stores, Roses Express, Maxway, Bill’s Dollar Stores and Bargain Town.

Big Lots filed for bankruptcy in September 2024 and had 1,392 stores at the beginning of 2024, but now has 872 stores across the U.S., according to its website.

The Big Lots in Butler Township employs about 20 people.
