Is The Superior Walmart Going To Close? Arkansas-Based Store To Close 269 Stores

Superior's Target and Kmart stores are closing.  Today's news of Walmart closing 269 locations made some people in the community nervous - wondering if the Superior location would be part of that list.

It looks like Superior residents can relax;  the Walmart on Tower Avenue is not one of those that is expected to close in the next few months.  Walmart corporate had this to say about their announcement:

"[T]he company will close 154 locations in the U.S., including the company’s 102 smallest format stores, Walmart Express, which had been in pilot since 2011. Walmart instead will focus on strengthening Supercenters, optimizing Neighborhood Markets, growing the e-commerce business and expanding Pickup services for customers. Also covered in the closures are 23 Neighborhood Markets, 12 Supercenters, seven stores in Puerto Rico, six discount centers, and four Sam’s Clubs."

A quick scan of the affected stores shows none of them are in the immediate area.  There are four closing in Wisconsin and none Minnesota.  To see the list for yourself, click here.
