We Are Growing

This year, we’re excited to announce significant growth! We are acquiring 15 Big Lots locations and opening five to seven additional locations, for a total of up to 22 new stores opening by early summer 2025. This expansion will introduce Ocean State Job Lot to Maryland and Delaware for the first time and create up to 70 job opportunities at each new store.
