Today's post takes us to an unassuming plaza-based Big Lots with a history.
In the Perth Plaza, this Big Lots store started out as a W.T. Grant store and became Kmart #7074 before moving to Super Kmart #4923 at 4930 State Highway 30 in 1994. It would get split between Norma Jean Theaters (later Emerald Cinemas, which has since closed) and Big Lots in the late 1990s. The current exterior is the result of a plaza-wide remodel that started at the end of 2015 and was completed in early 2016.
The cart bay is located to the right of the entrance. Notice the recently-added ex-Sam's Club Unarco M170Z shopping carts in the left-most row.
This Big Lots has the furniture section separate from the rest of the store.
The back half of the furniture section, which houses mattresses appears to have been backroom space for Grants/Kmart.
With the interior wrapped up, let's take a look outside...
Out toward the former Emerald Cinema space is where the store's former auto center was bricked in.
