Big Lots, which started the year with nearly 1,400 stores in 48 states, now expects to close nearly 400 locations, a rapid escalation from June when it initially said it would close 35 to 40 stores. It has enlisted Melville, New York-based A&G Real Estate Partners to sell the leases for 296 of those now nearly 400 closing stores.
