Walmart has no plans to downsize in 2025, despite reports of 11 stores closing this year
Briefly

Walmart has denied reports claiming the closure of 11 stores across several states in 2025, clarifying that these rumors originated from a mistaken article. The company confirmed it had closed those stores in 2024 as part of a broader strategic initiative, which includes the opening of 150 new stores and remodeling 650 existing locations. This shift aims to enhance customer experience with features like wider aisles and improved online services, marking Walmart's commitment to evolving its retail presence.
Walmart confirmed no store closures planned in 2025, disputing misleading reports about 11 locations closing, while reinforcing commitments to new store openings and remodels.
The erroneous claims about Walmart's store closures stemmed from unverified reports, emphasizing the need for media outlets to confirm information directly with the company.
