(Michigan City, IN) - Big Lots in Michigan City is going out of business, and so are other stores in the chain in Northwest Indiana.

A recorded message at Big Lots on Franklin St. informs callers about the store closing “soon” along with going out of business discounts now being offered on products.

Other Big Lots locations are also closing in Portage, Hobart, and Schererville.

Gordon Brothers, a Boston-based liquidator, purchased Big Lots out of bankruptcy court and is selling about half of its 400 stores.
