This isn't a huge surprise, but it looks like Big Lots is experimenting with a format that is strictly 'Home' categories.

That was my experience the last time I visited a Kohls. Their merchandise used to be comparable to Macy's, albeit priced higher (so they could hand out coupons and Kohl's Cash).

Stop & Shop had that as well, but don't remember which brand they used (and also not sure if the family Giants did that as well or not, since those weren't local enough to go to). I remember Giant (PA) had and promoted Staples products for a short while, .I want to say the mid 2000's?, so I'm g...
