Walmart recently announced that it is leaving another store in the lurch.
Located in Norwalk, Connecticut, it will be replaced by a Target.
The company decided not to renew the lease, disappointing buyers.
Missy Dye Radin, who lives near the store, said, “The fact that I am so close to Walmart and can just shoot here and get what I need is really convenient. It’s going to be a bummer.
There are more than half a dozen Walmart locations in the area, but for some shoppers like Radin, they aren’t close enough.
“It’s quite a distance and honestly it’s all about convenience,” she said.
“That’s why I think it’s a loss for this community because there’s value in being able to quickly go to Walmart and get everything you need knowing you’re not paying a premium or a higher price.”
A Walmart spokesperson confirmed to The US Sun that it was a difficult decision.
“We are grateful to the customers who have given us the privilege of serving them at our Connecticut Avenue location,” Walmart said.
“We look forward to serving them at our Main Avenue Supercenter and other stores in the surrounding communities.” [online].”
The store is scheduled to close on November 3rd.
A SERIES OF CLOSURES
This announcement comes after Walmart closed 23 additional locations this year.
In many cases, retailers cited financial losses and underperforming stores as the reason for the closures.
In a statement, Walmart said its Chicago stores “lose tens of millions of dollars per year and that their annual losses have nearly doubled in the last five years alone,” which has led to several of them closing.
