Walmart store closings announced
Fans of Walmart may wake up to a closed Walmart in their area by the end of this month. Without prior notice, Walmart has announced the closing of 269 stores in the U.S. and abroad. Of the 269 closings, 154 locations are in the U.S. This includes 102 Walmart Express stores, 23 Walmart Neighborhood Market stores, 12 Supercenters, 4 Sam’s Club stores, and more.

Sadly, this will cause Walmart to layoff more than 10,000 U.S. employees by the end of this month. Fortunately for employees, 95 percent of the closed stores in the U.S. are within 10 miles on average of another Walmart. The company hopes to place these associates in a nearby location.
