Big Lots rose to prominence in the late 1960s when its owner began to craft big closeout deals on clearance items, particularly auto parts. After changing its name from Consolidated International, the company developed a reputation for selling patio furniture, couches, recliners and related household goods at a steep discount compared to traditional stores. The formula has worked big-time for Big Lots. Today, the company has 1,400 stores in 47 states.
