This is news, especially if you're a fan of the discount retailer like I am; they sell a little bit of everything and it's usually at a reasonable price.

There's also a location near the gym I go to, so it's helpful for when I forget to pick things up from the store.

According to Shorebeat, the Big Lots stores in Brick, Toms River, and Barnegat will not be a part of recently announced closures.

Hopefully, some of the Monmouth stores are able to stay open as well, we'll see.
