Riverhead Big Lots Is Closing Route 58 Store

Riverhead Big Lots Is Closing Route 58 Store

The front entrance to Route 58 retail store now has signs announcing "STORE CLOSING", "NOTHING HELD BACK", and "ENTIRE STORE UP TO 20%". There were even two designated storekeepers standing on the sidewalk of Route 58 holding the store closing sign this morning. Their company spokesperson was not immediately available for comment. Representatives of the real estate agency in Queens that advertised the other two smaller rents in Staples Plaza (where Big Lots is situated) also weren't reachable for comment. The Big Lots was originally occupied by a permanent home store. The plaza was opened in the 1980s. Later on the space got occupied by Ultimate Fitness East. They moved out in the summer of 2013. In that fall, a store of Big Lots launched there. Big Lots is a publicly traded organization operating 1,422 stores in 48 states all across the U.S. The company's investor relations website reveals. The big box retailer is expected to showcase its third-quarter results to all its investors on Thursday. It has struggled in recent years, with its stock value plummeting more than $39 per share in the last five years to a sinking $4.14 per share yesterday. Big Lots Inc. has seen a huge downturn in both its revenues as well as net income year after year in the fiscal year of 2023 so far. In January, the company announced that it would close some stores in its larger urban markets in California and Colorado. Read Also: Is Walmart Open On Thanksgiving?

HBO Max Decides To Take Away 4K From Ad-Free Subscription Plans

HBO Max Decides To Take Away 4K From Ad-Free Subscription Plans

In May, HBO Max underwent a transformation and became Max. At that time, Warner Bros. Discovery assured existing subscribers on the ad-free plan that they could enjoy certain perks, such as 4K streaming, for a minimum of six months without any additional charges. Now, as we approach that six-month mark, it's time for a change. Max is reaching out to its affected customers, notifying them that while their monthly subscription cost of $15.99 will remain unchanged, they will lose a couple of perks starting on or after 5 December 2023. Specifically, 4K (and HDR) streaming will no longer be available for legacy customers. They will be limited to HD quality, similar to new signups for Max's ad-free tier. To continue enjoying 4K playback, legacy subscribers can upgrade to the "ultimate" plan, which costs $19.99 per month. This will be done for users who use their plan on smartphones and on their smart televisions. Legacy ad-free subscribers also had an extra concurrent stream (for a total of three) compared to the standard two offered to new $15.99 plan subscribers. Unfortunately, this perk will also be discontinued starting with the December billing cycle. There is currently no clarification from Warner Bros. Discovery regarding whether any subset of customers can retain these benefits. It's worth noting that downloads remain unaffected by these changes. Both legacy and current ad-free customers can still save up to 30 titles on supported devices for offline viewing when they don't have an internet connection. For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, Max offers a "with ads" tier priced at $9.99. While this tier doesn't include offline downloads, it does allow for two simultaneous streams and offers HD picture quality. Additionally, Max recently introduced an optional sports add-on that is free until 29 February 2024 but will cost an additional $9.99 per month for customers who wish to continue using it.
