Wal-Mart store closures are including 154 locations in the United States and 269 stores globally. Also included in the closures are four Sam’s Club stores. Walmart’s announcement that it would be closing some of its 11,600 stores was announced by the company on January 15.
“Today’s action follows a thorough review of Walmart’s nearly 11,600 worldwide stores that took into account a number of factors, including financial performance as well as strategic alignment with long-term plans,” stated Walmart. “Closing stores is never an easy decision, but it is necessary to keep the company strong and positioned for the future. It’s important to remember that we’ll open well more than 300 stores around the world next year. So we are committed to growing, but we are being disciplined about it.”
The Walmart closures in the United States include some of the company’s smallest stores, the Walmart Express, which was piloted in 2011. Instead of focusing on the small stores, Walmart is relocating its assets to the stronger Supercenters, its e-commerce business, and its growing customer Pickup service.
During the coming year, Walmart plans to open 50 to 60 more Walmart Supercenters and 85 to 95 Neighborhood Markets. In all, the company plans to open more than 300 stores around the world next year.
Walmart has published a list of its store closures and dates on its website. Also included are four Sam’s Club stores as seen below. Google is providing an interactive map which is also showing the closing Walmart stores and the dates.

In regard to the Wal-Mart store closures outside of the United States, the company made the following announcement:
“Consistent with this strategy, the company is closing 115 stores outside the United States. This includes 60 recently-closed, loss-making stores in Brazil, which represents only 5 percent of sales in that market. The company has already been able to relocate many affected associates in Brazil to other stores. The remaining 55 stores are primarily small, loss-making stores in other Latin American markets. Walmart will disclose more detail about those actions, including the number of stores per market, after completing local associate and community outreach.”
According to Walmart, a total of 16,000 international employees are affected by the store closures. About 10,000 of those employees are in the United States.
According to Doug McMillon, president and CEO, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., more than 95 percent of the closed stores in the United States are within 10 miles of another Walmart store and employees are encouraged to find employment in another store location. For those unable to relocate, the company is providing 60 days of pay and, if eligible, a severance package, and a resume and interview skills training.
“The decision to close stores is difficult and we care about the associates who will be impacted,” McMillon said in regard to the employees affected by the Wal-Mart store closures.
