Residents Reveal Best 5 Stores That Could Replace Big Lots In Somers Point
Big Lots closing all NJ locations
The store filed for bankruptcy on September 9, 2024
Customers are seeing HUGE savings throughout the state
No more furnishing your whole house for pennies.... or can you? It was a bummer to hear that Big Lots is going out of business. Not just here in New Jersey, either. All stores in the entire US are closing up shop. The company announced bankruptcy in late 2024, so now it's time to liquidate.
I purchased a BUNCH of things for my apartment at Big Lots over the years. The one closest to where I live now is in Hamilton Commons on the Black Horse Pike in Mays Landing. That location shouldn't have any problems picking up another store to take its place.

What about the Big Lots in Somers Point?
Sure, it remains pretty steady throughout the off-season here in South Jersey, but it's a lot busier during the summer months. No surprise there since it's right outside of Ocean City. Not to mention all the campgrounds scattered throughout the area.
So, what store should go in next?
The Locals Have Spoken!
Somebody asked on the Somers Point Facebook group what most people would like to see take the place of the Big Lots location off of New Road in Somers Point Plaza. People were naming stores like Marshall's, eateries like Jersey Mike's, even a roller rink was suggested.
I've narrowed it down to the 5 best suggestions of businesses that should take that Big Lots location's place. Can you think of anything you'd like to add to the list?
