Nearly 50 additional Big Lots stores are set to close across the United States as the retailer continues its bankruptcy process.

The retailer, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September, plans to close more than 340 stores. Some of those stores may already have closed: More than 50 stores have been removed from the chain's online list of locations since July 2.

Store closures for the store form part of a sale agreement with an affiliate of Nexus Capital Management LP, according to a news release from Big Lots. The company also has filed motions in court seeking approval to continue to pay employees and benefits as well as payments to certain crucial vendors to continue business as usual.

Initially, four states − Idaho, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas − were not slated to see any closures. But new filings show that each of them will have locations close: Idaho, Oklahoma and New Mexico will see one closure each and Texas will have more than 15 stores closing across the state.

The only states not affected by Big Lots closures to this point are Delaware, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Rhode Island and West Virginia.
