Reviews of Big Lots

Millie Carr

The assistant manager and the manager we're running the front of the store and they were a total riot. They were laughing and joking with the customers and really made you feel as though you were important during your shopping experience I should have got the name but unfortunately I didn't just know that the Big lot was really a good experience this afternoon and they always have more than what I'm really looking for so it's always a bargain thank you Big lots for being there and thank you to the people that are still coming to work so that we can have a place to come for our shopping experience. This Big lot was on Merle Hay road.

Lesa Ouimet

A few bargains, not many tho. Lots of very pretty Xmas decorations. The store stocks alot of items on my want list but most of the time I need to stick to my needs list. For me, it's best to shop there rarely, but alot of fun when I do.

Shelves were kinda empty had a great employee who helped me get the items off the top shelf he was great. Cashier blah didn't get receipt for some reason.

Dejahamber Thompson

I don't make it out here much, but when I do I always find something I want, need or love. I just got a popcorn mix and it's the most delicious popcorn ever! Returned a few weeks ago to purchase cleaning supplies. Large selection of items but prices were a bit high. The cashier was very helpful and saved me $10 for signing up for rewards and found a pair of slip on shoes for .96.

Deanna May

I have always liked shopping at Big Lots but with only one location I don't get there as often as I'd like, but they have made some changes I'm not a big fan of. The prices are not on each item anymore and so many things I picked up to purchase I put back down because I had no idea what they cost. You go down an aisle now and someone has laid an item back on the shelf and again, no idea how much it costs. I spent a lot of time looking for prices and ended up leaving with way less than I had planned. I hope this procedure changes. I would have given a full 5 star review had that not been an issue with me.

Deb Myers

Loved it! Always do! Got these pillows for $5.00 each reduced from $25each! Love BigLots!

Shawn Farmer

Maybe if they priced half thei products I would go back

Melissa

Reasonable prices. Great outdoor decor, gazebos, patio furniture, fire pits. Unique holiday decorating for inside and outside. Large selection of bedding and curtains. Unique indoor furniture selections and beds. Going through a store remodel.

Gloria Cecelia Weber

This store has good deals. Real clean. I do wish they had more selections. Not enough checkers. However, they get high marks first a McKean public restroom. I have phobia of public restrooms. So absolutely having to use one gave me much anxiety. This bathroom was clean.

Cynthia Carlsen

My husband and I went in this store looking for a specific item we had seen advertised on their commercial. It said online that there were plenty in stock, but the employees weren't too excited about helping me find it. Hubby turned his back on his shipping cart for about 15 seconds. When he turned back around his car was being wheeled away by a clerk who was putting all his stuff back on shelves! The shelves weren't stocked very well either, making it extra difficult to find anything. We finally left the store without buying anything.

Rex Schulze

Tyler was very helpful and knowledgeable!

Miss Ai

Nice, large building but it was sort of a mess. Things were messy and were all over. Nice variety of times. Employees seemed decent and willing to help if you stop them. None of them asked us if we were doing okay and finding things okay.Prices on some items you can find at the dollar store for a dollar were four dollars and above.

Ashlee Mesner

Shelves were pretty bare, online inventory wasn't anywhere close to what they claimed to have for in store pick-up. Not one employee greeted me in any way let alone ask if I needed any help. Not too satisfied

Christina M Snyder

Lots of items in stock at reasonable prices. Great customer service!

Francie Baedke

There are certain things we like at big lots that we don't get anywhere else. We recently bought furniture there and after a bad experience at homemakers we found what we wanted almost identical to what homemakers had for a fraction of the price. The table ended up being damaged when we got home and they gladly exchanged it and were so nice and helpful. If every store had a Bridgette and Tyler they'd never have another customer complaint.

Kathy West

I have not been in Big Lots for quite some time and I was blown away by all the changes they have made. It is absolutely amazing. The style, variety, and as always their excellent prices. I could have spent all day in their looking. Love the changes. Definitely a huge thumbs up from me 😊😊😁😁😊😊😁😁 …

Teresa Conner

They have some Christmas 🎄 items out already …

DONNA HOPKINS

My ...go to.... Store.🥰 I always find what I need and a bargain or two.😉 Thank you for being a nice addition to the north side. …

M M

I love this place. Big name brands and low prices. Today when I walked I was greeted so genuinely. I love this place!

Corn Dog

Nice place to shop for everyday items. The store is clean and well-managed. Lots of holiday decorating supplies, especially Halloween and Christmas. When icicle likes die, come here to get them. The hangers to put them on gutters. Nice folks staff the store.

Anastascia Eckert

This Big Lots has the nicest staff. They were so helpful in the furniture department. I made a big move from Indiana to Iowa, and they held a couch and bed for me to pickup. They were so nice and eager to assist.

Octobers Child

Store was messy and Women's Bathroom was Absolutely Filthy. Prices are BRILLIANT just wish they'd clean it up!

Andra Wages

Sometimes we hit on really cool stuff and next time not so much. Like that with any store like that though.

J fmdevil

I was not all that impressed with Big Lots. They offer some nice prices on the goods that they do stock, but the store itself is a little weird if you ask me. It's like they don't know whether they want to be purely a home decor store, or a grocery store. Maybe if I'm in the market for a new couch, I might check them out again, but until then I'm not missing anything by not going to Big Lots.

Pamela Boyd

First time ever going and I was a bit disappointed but still found a few nice things. Not sure what I expected but at least I can say I've been there. It's about a 30 min drive so can't say it's a store I will shop at regularl basis.

Heather Hyatt

The store has changed over the years. Prices aren't as reasonable as they once were. I do enjoy the hunt for random fun finds, but then weigh the amount of time it will take to check out through the one open register.

Lindsey Richmond

Great deals. Some staff are pleasant some staff could use some work

nick olinger

Very clean store w a wide variety of product.

Diane Rackley

Purchased a recliner sofa from this store. Tyler, the clerk, was extremely helpful. He thoroughly explained the warranty options, and helped me find a delivery service when I requested it. This guy's mission in life was to make sure I was squared away. :) ... All associates were prompt in asking if I needed assistance as I walked through the store looking at other items. ... The store has a slightly cluttered feel, but has a large inventory and great sales associates.

A DJ NAMED KLASSY

Very friendly store clerk

Melvin Woods

Hadn't been to this store since it 1st opened. Tonight I was Blessed to be checked out by Ms Anita. I guess Hy-Vee isn't the only store with a helpful smile. Thank you Ms. Anita. Wonderful asset to the company. 💯🙏🏾 …

Kayla Wearmouth

I love Big Lots for many reasons. They have fair pricing, an abundant array of categories of which to shop from, always have coupons or discounts, and they're a BIG store!! I really like the customer service as well!!

Adrian Mitchell

This is a very interesting store with lots of variety in terms of the products they sell. Everything from house essentials to furniture to food. Their prices vary in terms of savings. Some things are the cheapest that I have ever seen in a store other items are more expensive than most other places. It is a big store despite its outside appearance.

TexasStardust

.....Thier favorite price must be " $12.99" .. almost everything I picked up , from a cute pillow, to a SMALL decorative pumpkin was " $12.99". Which was ridiculous. I found a better pillow, fir $10.99, at TJMAXX. AND better decor for fall, for less $$$. The reason I would like to shop at Big lots, was the prices. Very disappointing. I could go there and buy a lot of neat things, for under 30 dollars. Not anymore.

cindy covey

Many items have no price. Inconvenient. I need 2b in a veeeeeeery stable place b4 shopping there. But it's a close out store and days I'm not borderline migraine, and if I've been successful in all my other shopping that day, and I'm in the area, I'll step in and walk around. It is not my 'go to' store in any sense. But when things are going well and satan's babies haven't screamed the happy out of me elsewhere, it's a store I enjoy.

Donna Soderblom

Has almost everything you might need & more. Why does 'every store' make it impossible to get through the isles? IT IS SO ANNOYING! I just about leave my cart there & say "you can put this away also"!

Vikki Lynn

The store is looking so clean. They are getting more choices of merchandise. And the clerk's I made contact with were very friendly. They have had some rude people in the past. I like this bunch. Very friendly and helpful. Thank you Big lots.

Andrea Bell

Big lots is moving on up like the Jeffersons. Bigger and Better selections. Well stocked.

Iowachick

I always find something I need at Big Lots and my 20% coupon was a help today. Staff are pretty good people too.

Keith Oliver

Store is a little dirty, grimy and small, but it is good. Especially if you look, you can find some great deals.

Becky Hurley

Many shelves were empty and it was an unwelcoming atmosphere as the employees were unfriendlyand made me feel like I was in their way. I found several things I didn't know I needed.

Melissa Butterfield

Saw some nice stuff but didn't see a whole lot of savings.

Lepus Lycan

Best place for gluten free food near by, staff are pretty nice, and the prices are hard to beat. Dont get tech stuff here, though.

Brittney

The Employees were very helpful and they have a wide selection of items at great prices

Kayce Wheeler

Most all my holiday decorations are bought at Big Lots. The variety of Christmas decorations they have is great. All is located at your eye level and in generally one area of the store.

Q DE

I really like this store a lot, you can find some pretty great deals on things. Plus you can sign up as a rewards member to get even deeper discounts

Jeremy Virden

There was a nice selection of products...found what I wanted I addition to things I needed but didnt know....very cheap I. A good way.

Joel Kruse

Meh. It’s kind of like walking into a Walmart that the employees one day abandoned and didn’t look back. And now the few employees that were faithful have no choice but to pretend like they are working.

Cole Rixner

Aside from the interesting customers that you run into while shopping, they have a really good variety of products at really reasonable prices.

heidi wiseman

Some of the items they have there cost more than if you were to go to the major chain stores. But it is worth the trip to see if you can find any good deals.

I visited this store during a stay in Des Moines as I was going to see a neurologist. I saw two women really stick out in the store. They were extremely helpful and so respectful to me and my mother as we had question on prices and locations of products. They were busy cleaning and restocking items and seemed to be just such wonderful people. The store looked so much cleaner and organized then I had seen it two years previously (the last time I was in it). After returning back home I told all of my friends and family of just how these two women made my day brighter with their empathy and their passion of ethics during a time when I was feeling scared and worried due to my upcoming medical procedure. I THANK YOU SO MUCH DANIELLE AND DEBRA!! I hope to be able to come visit you again in the future!

Cabrera Cabrera

(Translation) I don't know if the store is being closed because most of the shelves were disorganized. (Original) No se si esta serrando la tienda por que estaba desorganizado la mayor parte de los estantes.

angeles lopez

(Translation) I like it because there are low prices on very nice furniture (Original) Me gusta por que hay precios bajos en muebles muy bonitos
