All The Walmart Stores Closing (Or Already Closed) in Recent Years
Over the past few years, Walmart has announced that they’ve closed well over 160 locations in 27 states throughout the U.S., affecting over 10,000 employees.
The states hit the hardest in recent years include Texas (29), North Carolina (17), and Arkansas (11). It will be interesting to see what happens in the communities where a Walmart will be closing. Will new local businesses open up and fill the void? I certainly hope so. My guess is that the Target’s and Amazon’s of the world will simply step in and swallow up the competition, but time will tell.
Below is a running list, state by state, of all the Walmart locations that have already closed in the past 3 years or will be closing soon in 2024.
So you might be asking why are these stores closing?
There are several reasons that some Walmart store location have been closing in recent years.
They include the following:
- Underperforming location
- Hit by theft and organized crime
- Unable to secure a lease with the property owner
Here’s my running list of store closures:
Walmart Stores Closing in 2024:
CALIFORNIA:
- 2121 Imperial Ave., San Diego, CA (closing on February 9, 2024) – According to a Walmart spokesman, they were unable to renew a lease with the property owner.
