there �s LOTS OF and A LOT OF - you can use both with the same meaning, but you have to be careful with singular-plural accordance. E. g.
There is a lot of chocolate on the shelves.(like using a bunch of, a pile of, etc.)
There are lots of chocolate bars on the shelves.(like using many, several, numerous)

Both "a lot of" and "lots of" can be used with plural or noncountable nouns to mean either "much" or "many".
I don �t have a lot of money.
My friend has lots of money.
I have a lot of books.
I have lots of books.
I hope this helps you,
