Walmart is closing seven locations because they just aren’t performing up to company standards. Two of the seven locations are pickup and delivery only stores.
According to WSOC TV ,“There is no single cause for why a store closes — our decision is based on several factors, including historic and current financial performance, and is in line with the threshold that guides our strategy to close underperforming locations,” Ahmed Young, Director, Public and Government Affairs – Corporate Affairs for Walmart Inc.
