at
The retail behemoth has announced store closures. 154 of the stores are in the US and most others are in Brazil and Latin America. None of the closures are in Virginia. The closest shuttered store to our region will be the Covington Drive Walmart in Baltimore on January 17. Most of the stores closing in the US are in close proximity to another Walmart.
The store will start closures at the end of January. Walmart operates 4,500 stores in the U.S. Its global workforce is 2.2 million, 1.4 million in the U.S. alone. The closings represent a small fraction of the 11,000 stores worldwide.
