SNAPFORWARD

Big Lots is on the upswing. The closure of underperforming stores in recent years has helped boost profitability. And a fresh look at merchandising with a focus on what it describes as “ownable” and “winnable” categories like home and housewares has contributed to two years of increased same-store sales – soon to be three at the end of fiscal 2016.
