Big box discount store Big Lots announced that it may close up to 315 stores in an Securities and NSI CommunityExchange Commission filing.

The filing made Wednesday outlined updated loan terms for the beleaguered retailer that lowered the store's credit limit and raised the line's interest rate in addition to the closings. The original agreement allowed for up to 150 store closings.

The company said in early July that it would close 35 to 40 stores by the end of the year in a separate SEC filing.

"In 2024, the U.S. economy has continued to face macroeconomic challenges including elevated inflation, which has adversely impacted the buying power of our customers,” Big Lots said in the filing.

The company reported that sales in the first quarter of 2024, which ended in May, fell more than 10% compared to the previous year.
