Big Lots — Attraction in Marietta

The layout of this store is confusing and not at all like any Big Lot store I have ever been to. It felt like walking into a furniture store that was trying to be a TJ Max. The store was also poorly organized. The edges of the store felt like the same isle split by the rest of the store.

If you want drinks they definitely are a good deal though since most sodas/teas are considerably cheaper than competitors.

Furniture prices are on par with what you would expect.

Will update review if I ever actually go into the non...
