Big Lots filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is closing nearly 300 stores, including one in Woodbridge, New Jersey.

Big Lots, which has filed for bankruptcy protection, says it plans to close additional stores in the coming months. Here's a look at the stores the retailer is already closing.

Closing more locations will allow the company to have a “more focused footprint” and conduct business efficiently, said President and CEO Bruce Thorn.
