Another one bites the dust! A ton of big businesses have announced closures lately, or at the very least, the scaling back of some of their locations.

A recent example of this is Italian chain Buca di Beppo, which abruptly closed thirteen locations across the country over the summer.

Another good example is Olive Garden. Instead of scaling back on their locations, they announced they'd be upping prices over the next year or so.

Now, Big Lots is also making headlines. The store is closing forty locations and that includes Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Locations Closing

Meanwhile, Wisconsin is set to lose a ton more locations, seven in total.

I would love a Big Lots in Duluth but I guess that probably isn't in the cards.
