All fiveΒ Big Lots stores in the Tucson area are slated for closure as the discount retailer works to pay down its debt.
The stores are at 4525 N. Oracle Road, 2520 S. Harrison Road, 7025 E. Tanque Verde Road, 3900 W. Ina Road and 18705 S. I-19 Frontage Road.
The latest list of store closures has grown from the earlier reported 35 to 40 stores to more than 300 nationwide, the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Big Lots reported last month that it plans to raise the money needed by selling off real estate and offering deeper discounts at remaining stores to drive sales.
It has more than 1,390 stores across the U.S.
Dates for closures or liquidation sales have yet to be announced.
Bringing in a contractor to carry out work at your home or business may seem like a smart move, but it has some subtle downsides. Contractors can appear to be trustworthy; however, sometimes you can feel ripped off by the time theyβre finished with their work. Regardless of how many references theyβve received, here are four scams you should avoid when hiring a contractor. One of the indicators youβve been scammed by a contractor is when they use cheaper materials without telling you before they start. Youβll often agree to a price before they start the work; however, hidden costs or various stipulations will lead contractors to increase the price. Similarly, before hiring a contractor, make sure they are giving you a βquoteβ on a job rather than an "estimate," as the latter has more financial wiggle room. Some contractors will take advantage of your lack of knowledge and skip important steps during renovation projects like venting, priming, and insulation.
