The former Big Lots location along Route 40 in Edgewood is now a discount clothing store called Label Shopper.

Label Shopper, which opened Monday at Edgewater Village Shopping Center, has two other locations in Maryland, according to the company’s website. One is on Route 40 in Elkton, Cecil County; the other is in Chestertown on the Eastern Shore.

The company offers “designer brands at deep discounts,” according to a news release. Label Shopper operates more than 75 stores in the Northeast and Midwest since opening as a sister brand to Peter Harris Clothes, of upstate New York, in 1970.

Label Shopper President Peter Elitzer said in a statement: “We’re thrilled to be joining the Edgewood community. Whether you’re shopping for workwear, casual looks, or new outfits for the kids, we’re confident our customers will love the savings and the selection.”

Label Shopper is celebrating the Edgewood grand opening by offering customers a chance to win one of five $100 giveaways, with no purchase necessary.

Big Lots closed all of its Maryland stores earlier this year, after the company went out of business.

Edgewater Village is among the older Baltimore-area shopping centers that are working to replace the “big-box” stores that have anchored them for decades. Retail researchers expect the wave of large-chain closures to continue this year.
