Walmart closing 2 more ‘underperforming’ locations
Walmart will be closing two additional stores next month.
Earlier this month, Walmart confirmed it was closing seven “underperforming” locations across three states: one each in New Mexico, Wisconsin, Arkansas, and Florida and three in Illinois. The closures came after a “thorough review process,” Walmart said.
This week, the company added two locations in Portland, Oregon to the closure list. The stores will close on March 24 after it was determined they weren’t meeting financial expectations in addition to “several factors,” the company said in a statement.
Roughly 580 employees will be laid off because of the Portland closures but they are eligible to transfer to other Walmart locations.
Here’s a list of the Walmart closures per ABC4.com:
- 3701 SE Dodson Road, Bentonville, Arkansas
- 6900 US Highway 19 North, Pinellas Park, Florida
- 17550 South Halsted Street, Homewood, Illinois
