Where else could you find a unicorn pool float next to a slightly suspicious looking jar of pickles…read moreand a lifetime supply of questionably scented candles? For years, I worshipped at the alter of this discount mecca, a land of inexplicable treasures and deeply discounted regrets (that chipped ceramic frog? Worth every penny, obviously). My wallet may have cried, but my soul sang. It was my happy place, and chaotic symphony of deals! Now, my beloved Big Lots is going belly-up. And you know the worst part? Suddenly, everyone's a Big Lots afficionado! These bandwagon jumpers, swarming to parking lot like locusts on a field of half-price patio furniture. Where were YOU when I single handedly kept the "As Seen On TV" section afloat with my impulse buying?!?!? These newcomers, scurrying through the clearance racks like desperate squirrels hoarding acorns, don't deserve the majesty of slightly scuffed sofas and inexplicably sized blankets! They haven't suffered through the thrill of the slightly sticky floor and the questionable music playing from the poorly maintained speakers! In closing, my heartfelt eulogy to Big Lots goes out like this: RIP, my weird and wonderful bargain bin of memories. I'll miss you, the mystery stains on the walls, the delightful staff always game for a friendly chat, and that surprisingly sturdy $10 step stool (still haven't figured out what it's made of but that is one solid buy). To the parking lot hoarders, shame on you! Your late-to-the-party treasure hunts have probably condemned Big Lots to this fate, you opportunists! Though, maybe we will all meet again in a local "Goodwill Store" because the need for deals never ends.

Though the store was very clean and organized, the staff was over accommodating and not at all…read moreaccommodating all at once! One employee could not slow down and the other, a manager, could not come and talk with customers. We were about to make a purchase of around $800 from them, but, they couldnt discount a floor model which was scratched in several places. We ended up in muncy. The staff there were very friendly and very accommodating. And we did make the purchase.

This store is absolutely beautiful! The people are absolutely wonderful and I have had nothing but…read moregreat experiences when somebody actually was helping me there at the store when it was needed. However, I am very unhappy as being somebody who has worked in retail for over 20 years the past three times I've been there I have walked through the door and the store was not busy keep in mind there was nobody but two more customers in there besides myself and nobody could get off their phone or get away from the herd of Gossip going on and greeted me, nobody has asked if I needed help or offered to help me. As a retail worker of so long that is parsmount keeping your sales up regardless if you're meeting your sales goal or not. Like I said everybody in that store is kind I've never had any issues but when I walk in and there's a herd of employees standing around to the left and I don't get a high welcome to the store or anybody offers to help me with anything I'm a little ticked off but other than that I've never had any other bad experiences I've always had great experiences at the register when I needed to do exchanges Etc hopefully they will coach their staff and in the future they will learn it is a very young store and a very young staff but that's no excuse to have shitty customer service and I feel bad saying that because that is not for every employee just the majority that like to stand in a herd off to the left and completely ignore you when you come through the door this is the third time that it's happened to me was yesterday I did not have anybody ask me how I was doing or welcome me to the store till I got to the back just saying that's not a good way to run a business. Like I said other than that the store is beautiful the inventory is always on par that was my only complaint is that the staff ignores their customers usually when you walk through the door of a store you want to be greeted wouldn't you?

It was the closest thing open late night near my hotel in Williamsport. The store was well stocked…read moreand there's an ATM outdoors.
