WHERE: Big Lots, 140 Village Shopping Center, Westminster, MD 21157

WHEN: July 25- August 1

WHAT: On behalf of your newly renovated Westminster Big Lots, we would like to invite you to the grand opening celebration week taking place from July 25- August 1. Out of an abundance of caution, we are forgoing our traditional ribbon cutting event—but that doesn’t mean we won’t be finding other ways to safely celebrate with our customers and the rest of the Westminster community! During this celebration week, customers will receive a coupon for $10 off a $40 purchase as well as other promotions throughout the grand opening month.

MORE: Community connection is important to Big Lots, which is why we are reaching out to you to invite you to participate in and cover our celebration. These store openings are part of a broader company initiative which aligns with Big Lots’ goal to bring savings with surprises in every re-designed aisle. This store and all new Big Lots stores will provide a less-cluttered, more comfortable and roomier experience for its shoppers. From improved store design to new restroom finishes and new shopping carts, Big Lots is dedicated to a more pleasant shopping experience.

We hope you will join us to (safely) celebrate and highlight this exciting redesigned Big Lots store!
