I quit shopping at Walmart. The stores are dirty, and filled with hateful and stupid people. When I came out of Walmart after shopping, I felt like I needed a bath. For groceries, I shop at Publix and for home goods I shop Target.Actually, what they do is bring in great big grinders and grind the floors and walls into gravel.
All that’s left when they are done is a big pile.
all six store at once and all for the same reason?
someone wasn’t even trying very hard
sometimes a coincidence is not a coincidence
Interesting. Could it be that wallyworld over built?
It is true the stores are often a magnet for miscreants. There are some in our area that are simply unsafe to go to at any time of day.
If you ever want to be convinced there are zombies and other ghouls... go to wallyworld after midnight.
Couldn’t you say the same thing of most businesses in the vicinity of Admiral and Memorial though, or even along the entire length of Admiral?
I could care less...they can do as they please with their own stores.
I've looked and looked and I cannot find anything that says Walmart cannot close a store, or for that matter, that anybody with a business cannot close it, period.
The damned libs think that Walmart must exist for the sole purpose of giving jobs.
I think if I had a business wherein the union-loving assholes agitated day after day, I'd probably close it, too.
And I ain't a Walmart lover ...but I do shop in them...after all, there is no alternative for all the chinese-made crap I need.
Gibbs rule #39....
Translation of “plumbing issues”, “need for closure” : “These places have turned into S*** holes.”
People don’t realize that Wal-Mart has more stores than a lot of medium sized companies have employees. To put it in perspective, a better way of seeing this is they are a medium sized company that just laid off five employees for the same reason. It just SEEMS odd that they would close the stores for the reason they stated.
i.e. this is probably legit.
BTW, when I lived in Seattle there was a bread store in Loeman’s mall (Factoria area) called Harvest Breads or something like that. It’s a Seattle chain. Anyway, they closed down the store and laid everyone off because it was “underperforming”.
In reality, they closed it down because one of the employees was a “practicing witch” and scaring the heck out of everyone to the point that the company really HAD to get rid of the person. However, they feared both legal and, much more significantly, personal retribution from the person involved. So the safe route was to “close” the store and then re-open it six months late - in the same location and with no remodeling changes.
There could be something “generically wrong” at these five wally world stores and they are just going for the long term fix.
Asymmetric warfare, in my opinion.

They are going to reopen them as gay supercenters.
Never seen the Tulsa store and rarely go in one anywhere.
Two points:
1. I think your right. They are just closing the stores because their accountants tell them they are big losers, for whatever reasons.
2. I could fix ANY plumbing problem those stores might have without closing them.
Then why the story about plumbing and reopening the store in six months? If it's a crime-ridden money loser then why not just close it for good?
Everyone hates Walmart when they open a store!
Everyone hates Walmart when they close a store!
Can’t please everyone. If they don’t like Walmart they can still get their Chinese made goods at K-Mart, Otasco, TGY, Looboyle, Oertlies, Belscot.
Oh wait! Those stores have also closed!
Six bad stores in bad areas, and one’s a high union target.
In many immigrant staffed plants, they put signs in the bathrooms to not flush paper towels. That’ll f up the plumbing.
