Walmart Locations Closing: Is This Happening In Texas?
Walmart has become a staple in America for its competitive prices for not only consumer goods, but for food as well but that could be changing in 2024.
Walmart Is Closing Stores Across America
Although the company seems to be thriving, Walmart is quietly shutting doors on underperforming stores across America, and they are doing it fast.
The company cited financial underperformance as the reason for the decisions.
In 2023, Walmart closed 24 stores across 14 states and Washington, D.C. That's significantly more than the 15 store closings the retail giant had planned. The chain attributes the closings in part to shoplifting and organized retail crime.
Right now no stores are closing in Texas but some are opening. They do have some health clinics closing.
