Is your Walmart on the list?
Walmart announced Friday that it plans to close more than two hundred stores worldwide, more than half of them in the U.S.
“Closing stores is never an easy decision, but it is necessary to keep the company strong and positioned for the future,” Walmart president and CEO Doug McMillon said in a statement.
Of the 269 stores on the chopping block, 154 are in the United States. 102 are Walmart’s smallest format stores, Walmart Express, which was Walmart’s answer to convenience and dollar stores that it had been testing since 2011 and is now officially abandoning. 23 Walmart Neighborhood Markets are also on the list, along with 12 Supercenters, seven stores in Puerto Rico, six discount centers, and four Sam’s Clubs.
“Walmart instead will focus on strengthening Supercenters, optimizing Neighborhood Markets, growing the e-commerce business and expanding Pickup services for customers,” the company promised. And the company actually plans on opening as many stores in the coming year that it’s closing – dozens of new Neighborhood Markets, Supercenters and Sam’s Clubs are in the works.
That may help soften the blow for customers and employees whose stores are about to be shuttered. Inconvenienced shoppers will find that “more than 95% of the stores closing in the U.S. are within ten miles on average of another Walmart,” McMillon said. As for employees, “the hope is that these associates will be placed in nearby locations.”
Walmart has been on a mission to improve its stores, and closing underperforming stores is part of the process. “Our customers have told us they’re happy with the improvements we’re making in their shopping experience,” McMillon said. Shoppers are “benefiting from a faster checkout process, better in-stock across the stores, a clean shopping environment and friendly associates.”
Closing dates range from this weekend, to next month. What follows is the full list of locations to be closed, and when. And if your local store is on the list – better start looking for another place to shop, or work, very soon.
