The new store, located at 4610 Frederica St., will be a showcase for the continued roll out of a new store layout and design across all Big Lots stores, both in new builds as well as in redesigns at existing locations.
This store will reflect a new format, which is part of a broader initiative to reposition the brand as a community retailer offering value and friendly service. As part of the celebration, Big Lots will host a grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony at 8:30 a.m. Aug. 23.
The first 50 shoppers entering the store on Aug. 23-24 will receive a reusable shopping bag filled with freebies from Big Lots. In addition, the company will kick off donation program benefiting New Beginnings Sexual Assault Services.
Big Lots will donate $5 to the local charitable organization each time a BIG Rewards loyalty member redeems a reward at the Owensboro store over a six-week period.
“We are excited to introduce our new store format to Owensboro,” said Steve Haffer, senior vice president and chief customer officer of Big Lots. “We are also very proud to serve alongside the Owensboro community with our support of New Beginnings Sexual Assault Services.”
