Big Lots is closing its last Casper store, leaving a big hole for discount furniture fans.

You’re not alone—over 8,000 US stores shut their doors last year, and experts say the wave isn’t over. It’s not just about bad business; more people are shopping online, and chains are ditching underperforming spots.

Jordan Williams+FollowHow to Make the Most of Your 2026 Tax RefundHeads up: 2026 tax refunds are expected to be about $1,000 bigger for most households, thanks to a new law. That means more folks will have extra cash to spend all at once. Expect warehouse clubs, discount stores, and auto dealers to roll out deals, hoping you’ll use your windfall on groceries, wardrobe upgrades, or even a car down payment. Pro tip: Plan ahead to stretch your refund—think bulk buys or paying off debt before splurging! #Business #LocalBusiness #TaxRefund202600Share
christinewhite+FollowColumbus says goodbye to Eddie Bauer warehouseAfter 30 years, the Eddie Bauer Warehouse & Salvage Store on Fisher Rd. is closing its doors in Columbus. For locals who love a good deal, this is a big change—especially with everything now marked down 70% until they run out. This spot has been a go-to for outerwear and massive salvage sales, so it’s wild to think it’ll be gone by January 2026. The Easton Eddie Bauer store will stay open, but it’s not the same warehouse experience. Anyone else going to miss hunting for bargains here? #Business #LocalBusiness #Columbus00Share
Bryan Grant+FollowWhy Your Favorite Stores Are DisappearingEver notice your go-to shops closing up lately? You’re not alone—over 8,000 stores in the U.S. shut down this year, from fancy department stores to your local coffee spot. It’s not just about online shopping; a lot of these closures are because stores built too many locations and can’t keep up. The upside? Value chains like Dollar General are popping up everywhere, so bargain hunters still have options. Maybe it’s time to mix up your shopping routine! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends00Share
Jordan Williams+FollowBig changes coming to Ocala shoppingBJ’s Wholesale Club is finally setting up shop in Ocala, and it’s not just another store—it’s the anchor for a huge new development in the Winding Oaks community.

The development will also bring nearly 1,700 new homes and upgraded infrastructure. With Ocala growing fast, this could really change the way locals shop and live. What do you think—will BJ’s shake up the local retail scene? #Business #LocalBusiness #Ocala00Share
carlsongary+FollowVirginia braces for grocery store shutdownsWeis Markets is closing all its Virginia stores—including pharmacies and gas stations—this Sunday due to the winter storm moving through the region. For anyone counting on a last-minute grocery run, this means you’ll need to stock up ahead of time or make alternate plans. The closures are all about keeping staff and shoppers safe as road conditions are expected to get dicey. Stores aim to reopen Monday at 8 a.m., but that depends on how the weather shapes up. How are you prepping for the storm? Anyone else already seeing empty shelves? #Business #LocalBusiness #VirginiaWeather00Share
