Walmart Closures Across the U.S.

So far all of the Wal Mart stores in Louisiana are still open.

Not sure if our state is cutting employees/stores or not yet, although other stores like Bed Bath & Beyond are in trouble. But the country continues to suffer from an economic decline and eventually businesses will have to lay off employees or continue to raise prices in order to stay profitable. I believe the blame lies with the many poor economic decisions being made currently. 1. Overspending by the government (for example: giving Ukraine billions of dollars for their defense, and green energy spending) 2. The focus and overreaction to climate change by attacking the oil industry which increases the cost of diesel fuel for trucks who transport goods to stores, 3. Over regulation and increasing taxes on corporations, 4. The overreaction by the current administration shutting down businesses and stalling economic growth. All of these decisions have led to the inevitable, store closures and layoffs in my view. "We reap what we sow."

I've heard of so many companies downsizing in recent years. Ohhh, and now it's happening to a biggie like Walmart. CA is not on the list, but I know in the next county over there used to be 2 Walmarts, and they had to close one about 5 years ago.

Haven't heard here. That would be quite a blow in my town.

No closures here. Our Walmarts are usually crowded.

I read an article yesterday that some of the ones that are closing are in high crime areas and they feel it's best to just shut them down. I do not go to Walmart at all, so it won't be a hardship for me if we don't have a Walmart. But there are 4 of them in fairly close proximity, so they won't go anywhere.

I haven't heard of any but I don't shop there anyway. I'm happy to report, though, that Zellers has come back. I still have to check it out, and if it's as good as it was before Wally killed it, I'll be shopping there a lot.

Most would have used Walmart and I have too when I was holidaying in the US. Sad indeed

I don't think the Walmart here in town is going to close. I do wonder where exactly those 2 in Georgia will close?

I haven't heard anything but if I cannot order from Walmart then I will be in trouble, They are best for my budget,

That is so sad for those who will be retrenched and it so happened that prices are so high. They will find it hard to adjust. They may opt to find jobs online while searching for a new job offline.

It’s hard to believe Walmart stores are closing down. We have four Walmart’s near us and two Walmart grocery stores. They're always full of customers.

In my neck of the woods we have one supermarket A Lidl Sure hope that it never closes
