Eldersburg Big Lots Open During Construction?

If you've driven by the Carrolltown Mall in Eldersburg lately, you may have noticed the sign that says that Big Lots will be open during construction.  On top of this, several people have asked my if Big Lots is staying.  Good God, what could be worse???  They're supposed to demolish the entire mall - including Big Lots, right?

As far as I know, Dixon Harvey said that everything in the main building of the mall is gone and gone for good.  This includes Big Lots.  However, Big Lots does have this banner up on the main sign stating that they will be open during construction.  What does this mean?

I've  been pondering this for a few days.  Then I noticed that the fly-by-night arcade place has moved from the former Peeble's to the former Blockbuster Video.  Perhaps Black Oak will be demolishing the back-end of the mall first, then move to the front-facing stores later?  One could only hope.

I haven't reached out to Black Oak, but I may do that.  Have you heard anything?
