Walmart Is Quietly Closing Stores Across 8 States

Walmart is closing 11 stores in eight states, most of them Walmart Neighborhood Market stores, which are smaller versions of the company’s Supercenters.

 

The Walmart Supercenter in Lafayette, Louisiana, is the only one of its kind on a list being reported by Business Insider. The Advocate reported that the store closed Friday.

 

Local officials said Walmart officials told them that there were, in essence, too many stores too close together.

 

“One of the things that came out early, I think they identified five stores within a 9-mile radius from that location, but 9 miles isn’t short by any means of the imagination,” City-Parish Councilman Kenneth Boudreaux said.

 

The area where the store closed is also dominated by low-income residents.
