Big Lots closing…

Van Wert will lose its Big Lots store, as the discount retailer prepares to close all 900 remaining stores after a potential sale to a private equity firm fell through. The Columbus, Ohio-based chain made the announcement on Thursday. Going out of business sales will be held at all Big Lots stores. Van Wert independent file photo
