MASSENA -- Big Lots will celebrate the grand opening of its newly remodeled store in Massena on Friday, Nov. 30.

The company said the Massena store will reflect a new format, which is part of a broader initiative to reposition the brand as a community retailer.

As part of the celebration, Big Lots will host a grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony at 8:30 a.m.

The first 50 shoppers entering the store on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 will receive a reusable shopping bag filled with treats from Big Lots.

In addition, the company will kick off a donation program benefiting Boys & Girls Clubs of Massena.

Big Lots will donate five dollars to the organization each time a BIG Rewards loyalty member redeems a reward at the Massena store over a six-week period (Nov. 30- Jan. 12).

“We are excited to introduce our new store format to Massena,” stated Steve Haffer, senior vice president chief customer officer of Big Lots.

“It brings to life our new brand traits and showcases our product assortments of affordable solutions in Furniture, Seasonal, Home, Food, and Consumables. We are also very proud to serve alongside the Massena community with our support of Boys & Girls Clubs of Massena.”

The newly renovated store, located at 138 Harte Haven Plaza, will be a showcase for the continued rollout of a new store layout and design across all Big Lots stores, both in new builds as well as in redesigns at existing locations.

Big Lots will host local dignitaries, representatives from Boys & Girls Clubs of Massena and other community guests at the ribbon cutting.
