Big Lots

This store has a huge variety of items that are really affordable, there staff is great and they help you as much as they can.

This Big Lots is a little dirtier than some of the other ones I’ve been to, but not horrible. You can find some decent stuff there at pretty good prices though.

Last review for this location was in 2008 and it has changed so much since then. New layout makes the place feel much bigger, product placement makes sense. Many grocery aisles which is great and the reason I go there. The aisles are a bit narrow but clear and the place feels a lot cleaner and more organized now. Also in response to the last review, there’s employees all over the place now mostly high school kids it seems, but they are there facing the products and keeping the store tidy.
Compared to other Big Lots I’ve been to, this one is my favorite because you never know what you will find here. The Big Lots in Bolingbrook doesn’t have much of a selection and never seems to gain anything different. At this Big Lots you will find lots of organics /​natural food brands, expensive (and now cheap) teas, tons of spices, and just an overall awesome grocery selection. The health and beauty section isn’t much to speak of (I shop for organics/​cruelty free stuff) but they have a lot of DVDs now near the customer service register so it’s fun to look through all those.
Also, the parking lot was finally re-​striped a year ago or so, so it’s no longer this weird free for all parking situation that was just weird before.

I have been to a BL in indiana and it was no way near this crappy. The merchandise was all over the place. It was dirty and there wasn’t an employee to be found anywhere. Time to fire the manager.
