Located in the Heritage Square shopping in Grafton, Virginia. This Big Lots just opened on March 20, 2008, and was formally a Farm Fresh grocery store, which closed June 24, 1995. Then, it was a True Value Hardware.

This Big Lots is a former Kroger's Greenhouse.

Interesting. I know a Kroger of this style that moved and became MacFrugal's, which was later acquired by Big Lots. That store is just down the road from what appears to be a later 80s Kroger, and this store is an older Big Lots. Both Krogers must have moved long ago.

This Big Lots shares a building with Save A lot in Sidney Ohio

Here's the recently opened Big Lots in Jacksonville, FL (this is a former Wal-Mart..which I used to work at) One of the nicest Big Lots I've been to.

It opened in the early 90s and closed in March 2005, when they built a new supercenter a few miles up the road. It was vacant up until late '07 when they started renovating it. They pretty much gutted the store and just left the skeleton of it. The Big Lots takes about a 1/4 of the store and is where the entrance of the Wal-mart used to be, the rest of it, they made into about four or five smaller store fronts, none of which have been leased yet. I helped close this wal-mart and open the new Supercenter.

The early 90s? This one must have different architecture because of historic preservation laws.

I think that the Wal-Mart was a regular, red white and blue store and the plaza owners remodeled it after W-M left, and Big Lots! moved in.

Um, I think those "red, white and blue stores" are impossible to remodel. So are many Kmart stores, and JCPenney as well.

I've seen several remodeled Wal-Marts and Kmarts. Unless it's a crumbling 90 year old building, nothing is impossible to remodel.

I mean that it is impossible to remove the Wal-Mart facade design. They could not remodel the typical 80's Wal-Mart like they did to the former Jefferson Ward/Bradlees stores that became Wal-Mart, for example. Kmart and JCPenney both use textured walls. Kmart also uses cinder block. Or the Penn Fruit buildings, or Acme stores with the peaked roof, or the traditional A&P roof.

Oops, sorry, I misunderstood what you said. I guess they ripped off the entire storefront and built a new one then, I've seen that happen to some buildings.

You are correct. They pretty much ripped the store front and and rebuilt it. Thats why I said the pretty much gutted it and just left the skeleton of the store. the Wal-mart, didnt look at all like it does now that its Big Lots, it was a typical looking regular wal-mart, it opened as a brown style wal-mart then remodeled to the red, white, blue look in the mid, late 90's.
