Big Lots announced its plans to open a new store at 24760 N. Lake Pleasant Parkway in Peoria.

While a building permit has been filed, an official opening date is contingent on a variety of factors, including construction timelines and staffing, and will be announced at a later time.

There is a tentative plan for a winter opening when the company will host a grand opening event to include special doorbuster offers.

“We are very excited to share our plans to open Big Lots’ newest store in Peoria,” said Bruce Thorn, president and CEO of Big Lots. “Our team is scouting new store locations throughout the country to identify places where we can serve the local community, and we saw a great opportunity in Peoria. We believe area shoppers will enjoy our unique offering of surprising finds and amazing deals, and we can’t wait to share that experience with them very soon.”

Big Lots offers a unique shopping experience — part treasure hunt, part bargain hunt and part everyday necessities. Shoppers visiting Big Lots will find a variety of products they’ll love for
their homes, including stylish home décor items for every season and quality furnishings from popular and exclusive brands like Broyhill, plus some of the lowest prices available on everyday
home essentials all under one roof.

The company currently operates more than 1,430 stores across the U.S.
