More than 200 locations were acquired by Variety Wholesalers as part of the deal, which&nbsp;began reopening stores&nbsp;in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company reopened an&nbsp;initial wave of nine locations&nbsp;on April 10, with&nbsp;plans to&nbsp;unveil the second&nbsp;wave of 55 stores&nbsp;on May 1, and&nbsp;70 more on May 15. Another round will follow in June, at which point the retailer will prepare a nationwide &#8220;grand opening&#8221; event for the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to court documents, Tractor Supply purchased 19 Big Lots leases in 15 states, as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennlive.com\/business\/2025\/05\/rural-lifestyle-retailer-purchases-19-former-big-lots-stores.html\">first reported by Penn Live.<\/a>&nbsp;See a list of which ones below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See list of Big Lots locations bought by Tractor Supply<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1170 Mae St., Derry Township, PA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3105 Berlin Turnpike, Newington, CT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>4233 S.
