Big Lots Inc. introduced a Mario Lopez line of workout gear, protein powder and recovery essentials. The brand will be exclusive to Big Lots.

The new products are featured in “The Lot,” a rotating, seasonal grouping of value-priced products located near the entrance of each Big Lots store. The Lot theme for January is “New Year, New You,” which includes the Mario Lopez product line and the Echelon fitness bike, workout clothing and home gym organization.

“Our customers love shopping at Big Lots for the exceptional value and surprising products we offer every time they visit,” said Bruce Thorn, president and CEO, Big Lots. “We’re the home of the hunt for bargains and treasures, and The Lot helps us take that idea a step further by offering a dynamic, constantly changing area in our stores where we can offer new merchandise categories anchored in themed presentations.”
