“ We always aim to source from responsible suppliers that meet our quality and value standards ”

Kevin goes on to say that executing an extreme bargain model does require multiple sourcing strategies . With its international procurement offices work directly with factories to deliver the most efficient cost model of developed , closeout , or engineered assortments of product . Domestically , the team of Big Lots merchants is focused on driving down costs to deliver extreme value assortments to the customers .
Big Lots also continues to use third party sourcing agents who are an important part of our sourcing strategy , including for key categories from Europe and India . procurementmag . com 151
