A Walmart<\/a> spokesperson said after a “careful and thoughtful review process” the company made the “difficult decision” to close the location on Friday, April 21. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, they added that the store didn’t perform  “as well as we hoped” and didn’t meet the company’s financial expectations, but employees will be able to transfer to another store.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
