Big Lots closing Sioux Falls store

Discount chain Big Lots is pulling out of the Sioux Falls market.

The national retailer opened in 2010 at 2808 S. Louise Ave.

The store is planned to close some time in August and has started a clearance sale.

The landlord is finalizing negotiations with a tenant that would take 22,000 square feet of the building, according to Raquel Blount of Lloyd Companies, who represents the owner. There is 6,000 square feet left to lease.
