I tend to forget how great Big Lots can be but since the onset of Covid19, I have been saved a few times because of this store. When everyone was standing 6ft apart esiting to go I to other stores along Military Rd, I walked right into Big Lots. The only people there were the employees. It was a breath of fresh air.
As an essential healthcare worker, I have struggled to find necessities in the last few weeks and the last thing I want to do is stand in a line not knowing if the things I need will be there. However, each time I've walked into Big Lots I'm able to find toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies and a few healthy snacks for my lunch. I am in and out of the store in no time. It's like a hidden secret and I am grateful.
