Walmart's exodus from America has begun

C. Heslop

America has said goodbye to Sears, Tuesday Morning, and Bed Bath & Beyond. Some speculate the country may soon bid farewell to Walmart.

The company released a new list of locations set for closure. In Oregon, the department chain left the city of Portland. Leaving residents to drive miles to get groceries and supplies from alternatives.

The company explained people are less willing to buy due to inflation. And since the installment of self-checkouts, dishonest shopping practices have increased. Walmart had a revenue growth of 7.6% in the last quarter. Yet, some locations continue to underperform and will be permanently closed by year-end.

The plan affects 20 locations across 15 states and the District of Columbia.

The list is due to company postings.
