From the post:

>Big Lots is closing up to 315 stores across multiple states as it suffers from growing financial woes. The discount homeware chain has identified scores of locations across states such as Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire and Vermont which are due to close. The Columbus, Ohio-based chain has not published a full list of closures - which will mean it loses of a quarter of its 1,392 store footprint. But stores that are going out of business display a 'closing this location' banner on its website, alongside a 20 percent off promotion.

The first few comments on the story reveal why: they didn't know what they wanted to be, they got rid of what made them popular to start with (closeouts, etc.,) and we don't need yet another furniture store.

Right now, Big Lots has nothing to differentiate itself from other big box stores - they're essentially Dollar General with less glitter on the merchandise. The current economic climate isn't helping them, but they've been aiming at their feet for a long time now.
