There are eleven of the smaller versions of Walmart's Super Centers, The Neighborhood Market, closing in eight states. These are in Washington, Virginia, California, Kansas, South Carolina, Arizona, Tennessee, and Louisiana. Are you surprised? Is there an area close to you closing? I have two Super Centers in my city.

No Walmarts too close to us. The preferred stores here are Dollar General.

@celticeagle Yes, a small store doesn't have a chance with a Walmart around. Even some of the grocery chains have a difficult time.

So many stores closing. That's the way business is. Unpredictable.

So many businesses just can't make it these days. Many large chain stores are closing.

I wonder what Trump is going to do about it. His way of making America great again. Poo!

@celticeagle I have not lived in the States for a long time so does not affect me. They were even thinking of bring one to Israel I think.

@LindaOHio Yes it would. I loved Target and would be happy if Target came here to Jerusalem and other parts of Israel.

I'm not surprised, Walmart probably got over zealous building all those neighborhood stores. I go to one occasionally but prefer the superstore that opened near here recently.

Maybe they just did the neighborhood ones to see what would happen and then put in the super ones.

That could be @celticeagle but the superstore isn't easy to get to like those neighborhood stores are. The exit I need to use is almost always clogged with traffic.

I lost three Wal-Marts — a full store and two “Neighborhood Markets” — close to me in the last year. It’s almost like they’re trying to make me a Kroger customer, because I have three Kroger’s close to me.

@celticeagle Yes, it is. We have several Wal-Mart's in the area, it would be terrible if they closed. It's bad enough we have a major department store closing.

My state is not on the list, so I am guessing not. I don't have a Walmart in my city though...but have 3 within 45 miles.

Yes, I am surprised to it. After all, it seems Walmart is a giant enterprise and if this is a bad sign, it won't seem good for other supermarkets.

One of the eleven stores being closed is a Supercenter in Lousiana. The other ten are the Neighborhood Markets. None of the above closing in my neck of Virginia.
