Big Lots Weekly Ad This Week

Big Lots weekly ad: what is on this page

If you're searching for the Big Lots weekly ad, here's the short version. The edition listed on AdsSOS right now runs from Sunday 25 October to Saturday 7 November 2026. That's a 14-day window, not the usual seven, and the scan has 2 pages. The chain's own Weekly Deals page carries a notice that this ad starts on 10/25 and that advertised prices are valid beginning on that date, so the dates line up.

Two weeks is a long time for a circular. Closeout stock moves, so treat the ad as a guide to the kinds of things your store is bringing in rather than a promise that every item will still be on the shelf on day twelve. We don't hold product or price data, so check the scan itself for what's featured.

Is Big Lots still open? Who runs it now

Yes, though it isn't the same company you remember. Big Lots, founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1967, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2024 and shut hundreds of stores. In a deal approved by the bankruptcy court at the start of 2025, a large block of stores and distribution centers passed through Gordon Brothers Retail Partners to Variety Wholesalers, a discount operator based in Henderson, North Carolina. Variety also runs Roses Discount Stores, Roses Express and Maxway.

The reopening came in waves from April 2025, starting with a handful of stores and growing through the spring. Early coverage cited 219 stores in the first announcement, while other reports gave different totals as the list changed. The company's current FAQ says it has reopened more than 200 locations and that more are on the way, and Wikipedia's infobox lists 217 stores for 2026. Because the footprint is still shifting, the sensible move is to use the official store locator before you drive anywhere.

What you'll find in a Big Lots store

Big Lots is a closeout and discount retailer. The official site organizes the store into furniture, home, seasonal and outdoor living, family apparel, everyday essentials, pets, toys and electronics, plus an "Only at Big Lots!" section. To see where it sits among similar options, browse the discount and general merchandise stores on AdsSOS, or head to the United States weekly ad hub for everything we list.

Closeout buying has a built-in catch. According to the chain, closeouts are limited-quantity items, so selection changes often, items may not be restocked, and each store can carry different products. New merchandise arrives weekly. That makes a visit feel like a treasure hunt, which is the point, but it also means calling ahead is smart if you're after one specific item.

Big Lots rewards, text alerts and email deals

People type "big lots rewards" and "big lots rewards card" into search all the time, which makes sense given the old program. Here's where it stands: the chain's FAQ, checked on 24 October 2026, says it does not offer a rewards program at this time. So there's no card to scan and no points to chase.

What does exist is a signup route for alerts. Text BIGDEALS to 65827, or add your email on the website, and you'll get early access to deals and the ad. You can opt out of either at any time.

Big Lots return policy and payment options

Returns are one of the most searched topics for this chain, so here are the rules as the company states them. Most items can be returned within 30 days with a receipt, and a receipt is required for every return. Refunds go back to the original form of payment. Furniture has a shorter window: 14 days, in original condition, with a receipt. Mattress sales are final. Returns are reviewed case by case, and worn, used or soiled items aren't eligible.

• Not returnable: bras, panties, swimsuits, prepaid phone cards and gift cards.
• Sleepwear can be returned; underwear must be unopened.
• Opened books, music or video can't be refunded but can be exchanged for the same title.

For payment, the chain lists cards, cash, gift cards and lease-to-own through Progressive Leasing on select items. That lease option isn't available in Minnesota, New Jersey or Wisconsin, and leasing costs more than the cash price, so read the terms.

Does Big Lots deliver furniture or sell online?

Delivery questions pop up constantly. The official answer: many stores offer third-party delivery for in-store purchases, the delivery company contacts you to schedule, and pricing is set by that provider. Assembly isn't offered. As for shopping online, the chain says it currently offers in-store shopping only, with no online inventory lookup. The website is mainly there for the weekly deals, departments, store locator and FAQ.

Big Lots hours and your local store

The official FAQ says store hours vary by location and sends shoppers to the store locator. Opening hours, holiday schedules and loyalty participation vary by branch and by local rules, so check the signage or posting at your own branch.

More weekly ads to compare

If you're doing a bigger grocery run alongside your Big Lots trip, you can compare the Meijer weekly ad this week, the Save a Lot weekly ad or the Albertsons weekly ad. For furniture and home shoppers, the home and garden store ads are a useful side-by-side. And when you're ready to check the current scan, come back to the Big Lots weekly ad this week page.
