You know it's a dramatic business move when a brand removes more than half of their locations from a state. That's exactly what just happened as Big Lots is closing 300 stores nationwide including more than half of their 12 remaining Wisconsin stores.

The news began to break as Big Lots made a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In that document, they did not name the locations, but their official store locator does. The official Big Lots store locator for Wisconsin shows 12 places, but the individual store pages confirm the following 7 will close their doors forever.

As this is a developing story, it will be updated if new locations and/or information is shared by Big Lots.
