WALMART fans could be losing another local in the coming days and weeks.
The big box retailer has already permanently closed a location in Atlanta, Georgia after a fire broke out in two stores late December.
While both stores dealt with “economic headwinds,” Walmart determined that the Howell Mill Road location was not worth reopening “due to site restrictions.”
UPCOMING STORE CLOSURES
But more store closures for the company are underway – for different reasons, according to multiple reports in the media.
In fact, two will take place next week on Friday, February 17.
One of them will apply to an exclusive pick-up store in Chicago, Illinois, which is located at 6840 North McCormick Boulevard.
Also, shuttering next Friday is a pickup and delivery-only location in Bentonville, Arkansas, reports KNWA.
That store is located on Dodson Road.
Following that, two more Walmarts will close in Chicago on Friday, March 10.
This includes the Homewood and Plainfield locations.
The U.S. Sun reached out to Walmart to confirm the shutdowns and to see if there will be any more closures coming in the near future.
OTHER UPCOMING RETAIL CLOSURES
In addition to Walmart, there will be other major stores that will close.
This includes low-priced grocer Aldi, which will be losing a store in northern Minneapolis in just days.
The location at 3120 Penn Avenue North posted the following message, according to multiple news reports:
“This store will be closing permanently closing at 5 pm on February 12, 2023.”
Grocer Piggly Wiggly will be closing another location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
No specific shutter date has been provided yet but the company’s senior director said in an email that “employee separations” are expected to begin “during the 14-day period commencing on March 18, 2023.”
“This action will be permanent, and the entire store will close.”
Plus, Bed Bath & Beyond has announced it would close another 150 stores
To avoid bankruptcy (at least for now), the company sold shares to raise $225million.
Major drug store chain Walgreens will be shutting down two more locations.
This includes one in St. Johnsbury, Vermont on February 22, followed by another in Houston, Texas on Grand Avenue on March 7, according to reports.
And rival CVS will be shutting down the pharmacy section of its store located at 400 Massachusetts Avenue NW in Washington DC.
On the flip side, here are the five retailers opening up locations in 2023.
