This is for all of the Connecticut people on this site. I was just watching Better Connecticut on Channel 3 and there was a ridiculous commercial for a store called Lots & More. They were advertising Christmas Merchandise. The commercials says they're in East Hartford, South Windsor, and Willimantic. Any one know anything about them? Are they like an Ocean State Job Lot type store? Their website is under development.

https://www.facebook.com/LotsAndMore - There are posts going back into Aug 2012, so they have apparently existed for a while. Looks like lots of garden stuff in the warmer months and holiday stuff this time of year - maybe somewhat like the small http://www.hewitts.com chain here in the greater Albany (NY) area?
The one in Willimantic is on Main Street in the former Benny's store. As far as I can recall, its been there for a couple years. There is also one in Waterford in a strip mall, which I believe was a former grocery store years ago.
They are like an Ocean State Job Lot, but smaller.
Is Lots & More like Big Lots?

What happened to Benny's? East Hartford's location looks like the old Skippy's (which was the name I grew up with)/ Vinny's location.

They decided to close that location. All their other locations seem to still be doing fine.
