“Great place while it was open. It has since closed and is no longer open to the public. As the sign on the door says. Open for Vendor pickup only and sold out closed. *Update 01/23/2026* Big Lots is now reopened. Another company bought them out and this store is back in business. Same great deals as before.”
“Lots of interesting finds here. It was fun just looking at the isles and isles of stuff. The only negative was it felt that you were constantly being monitored as there was a security person there at the entrance. Most items were relatively cheap and not sure a security guard was required. Plenty of parking.”
“Love the store but disappointed to hear my favorite person Danielle is gone.. it makes me not want to shop there anymore but luckily the new store manager is super nice and friendly that it makes it worth it!!!”
“Easy to navigate the store, everything within reach. They are kind and courteous there, not to mention the two little low rider pitbulls that came right up to me and said hello! I love how they allow animals in the store within reason and manners that is. Thanks for being a cool store dollar general!”
“Up early and after breakfast at kitch en, we wanted to stop by Big Lots in that strip mall but it didn’t open until 10 am. I noticed a man exiting the DG there so stopped in hoping to find a few specific products. Up one aisle, I encountered AIESHA, a personable employee busy stocking shelves. I loved her vibe and great energy. asked for the lawn & garden section.I saw the sign that mentioned BOGO, buy one and get one FREE. OK. 2 Citronella candles, 2 citronella spiral wrist bands, 2 plastic watering cans, 1 pack of fertilizing sticks. I mentioned the sale to the cashier who thought it was buy one, get one 1/2! Anyhow, she summoned the manager(?) who fixed the price on the water cans. I paid, then walked away to check my receipt because there was a line of customers. ALL the garden merchandise was charged at FULL PRICE. I returned to cashier and explained why wasn’t ALL the garden stuff discounted and she told me manager should have adjusted price while she was there! Why wasn’t those sale items programmed into the algorithm of the computer from the start? And why didn’t the manager look at other merchandise and make those adjustments. Very poor customer service. Not happy that I had to leave those other items there.”
Burlington Stores is giving its locations a major makeover. The off-price retailer has already transformed about half of its 1,115 stores and plans to complete the redesign across its entire fleet by the end of 2026.

Instead, Burlington is creating wider walkways, organized sections, and clearer signs to help shoppers find what they need.
