PROFILE |
 |
Big Lots (formerly Consolidated Stores) believes that a product's shelf life depends solely on which shelf it's on. The company is the nation's #1 closeout retailer, with more than 1,300 stores under the Odd Lots, Big Lots, Pic 'N' Save, and Mac Frugal's names in 46 states (all will be converted to the Big Lots name over the next two years). It sells a variety of brand-name products that have been overproduced or discontinued, as well as private-label items. Big Lots also owns the Big Lots Furniture chain. It has sold its K-B Toys unit (about 1,300 stores in 50 states, Guam, and Puerto Rico, and #3 in toys in the US, behind Wal-Mart and Toys "R" Us) to a group led by its management team and Bain Capital.
