Big Lots Finally Lets Go, Therapy Did What Sales Couldn't
Big Lots, the discount retailer burdened by an unwieldy stockpile of goods, finally shut its doors after a company-wide therapy session. Instead of just clearing out aisles, roughly 30,000 employees confronted 'their self-destructive hoarding tendencies,' turning corporate cleanup into an episode of group therapy. The company admitted, 'In retrospect, it’s almost funny that I had so many throw…,' proving sometimes even retailers need a shrink to stop hoarding junk no one asked for.

Turns out, therapy is the ultimate discount retailer: it clears out 30,000 emotional junk items, no coupons necessary.
When your inventory looks like a thrift store on LSD, maybe it’s time to see someone, not just liquidate.
