Walmart Announces Closure of Stores in 2024

Walmart’s decision to shutter two stores in California and one in Maryland marks an expansion of closures this year, now totaling six.

Initially planning 14 new locations, the closures follow underperforming stores in Ohio and the San Diego metro area.

Spokesperson Brian Little expressed gratitude to customers while assuring continued service through online platforms and delivery services.

Affected employees have transfer options, as Walmart maintains operations at numerous other locations. With over 4,600 US retail sites and plans for further expansion and renovation, Walmart remains a dominant force in the retail landscape.
