OutletStores — Concept Mock-up

All our stores
just moved in together.

A single OutletStores storefront — pure mobile-optimized web, nothing to install. The path you arrive by picks your home store: /morningsave opens it as MorningSave Outlet, /sidedeal as SideDeal Outlet. One account, one cart, one membership — and everything here is an outlet.

Everything is an outlet — our own stores are outlet versions of themselves (MorningSave Outlet, SideDeal Outlet, Hammacher Schlemmer Outlet) alongside 122 brand outlets. Big Lots Online Exclusives is the one exception. The OutletStores landing — first run, and Find more stores — is the front door.
MorningSave Outlet — themed deal events every morning; TV-show shelves demoted to one row as those partnerships wind down.
SideDeal Outlet — the SideDeal Daily plus the deal grid, in SideDeal's dark skin.
Hammacher Schlemmer Outlet — hammacher.com design and real products, now wearing the outlet mark; its deals join the firehose.
OutletStores mode — the firehose: every deal from every outlet (incl. community finds, filterable per store), each with its own thread — plus the shared forum. Whether stores.com also stands as its own consumer destination is an open question, deliberately undecided here.
Shared spine — one OutletStores account, cross-store cart, and Stores.com Cash work identically in every mode.
Front end only — this pins down the UI so the dev team can spec the backend connectors against something concrete.
First run is the OutletStores landing — the setup page IS the outlet directory, wearing the new OutletStores mark (League Spartan over the stores.com star device — picked from the /oslogo comps): ☆ stores to fill your rail, then Get started lands you in your first add. Reachable later from the switch sheet's "Find more stores". Reloads start fresh (demo hygiene); add ?keep=1 to keep your picks.

Live demo — partnership concept

Scan at the register.
Online exclusives your shelves can't hold.

A sign at your register. Your customer scans it and lands here — Big Lots Online Exclusives, a Big Lots–branded store of online-only deals. No download and nothing to install: it opens instantly from the scan and runs full screen.

Big Lots Online Exclusives — Today's Big Deal every morning, This Week's Ad, Best Sellers and Fresh Finds shelves, and real closeout deals in Big Lots flyer style.
Straight in — the QR opens with Big Lots already selected. No store picker, no hunting.
The network behind it — Big Lots is the only store your customer starts with; a whole network of deal stores sits one tap behind Find more stores in the switcher.
Shared spine — one account, one cross-store cart, one membership, and cash back earned on every purchase.
Live product design — this demo tracks the same mock-up the product is being built from, so what you see here is what ships.
