A massive retailer will now close major locations in California in just a few days, announcing as much as 50% off several items.
Walmart shoppers have just a few days left to visit two locations and take advantage of a closing sale, reports The-Sun.
Both of the stores are in San Diego County, California, and are expected to close on Friday, February 9th.
Walmart bosses failed to reach lease agreements with the property owners at the stores on Fletcher Parkway in El Cajon and on Imperial Avenue in the Logan Heights neighborhood of San Diego, sources report.
The retailer also noted that while business has been strong, the closing stores have not been meeting expectations, per NBC affiliate KNSD.
The U.S. Sun reached out to the locations and found there are closing sales going on offering as much as 50% off of items.
Shoppers in Logan Heights said they’re scrambling to find another affordable grocery option, the outlet reported.
“I think it’s great for me, plus the neighborhood. It’s real convenient for me,” shopper Shane Evans told KNSD.
He visits the store two to three times a week, and the shelves were nearly cleared on his most recent trip as people took advantage of the closing sale.
“Albertsons, that’s the next closest store.
One right off of Market Street, but the prices there are a little outrageous,” he added.
Walmart is also closing a store in Columbus, Ohio, on February 16.
A spokesperson for the retailer said the branch “hasn’t performed as well as we hoped, and we made the decision to not renew the lease.”

In just under two weeks, Save-A-Lot will be closing a grocery store in Richton Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, reports The-Sun.

The Save-A-Lot store is owned by Ohio-based Yellow Banana, and is one of approximately 900 nationwide stretching across Colorado, Texas, Florida, Maine and more.
The grocer is extremely popular for its discounted selection of quality groceries and family meal planning items, reports The-Sun.
While the company reportedly began seeking to renovate multiple Chicago-based location, the Village said Yellow Banana declined the “propose any new investment or lease extension for the Richton Park store.”
The Richton Park location is approximately 15,000 square feet and is expected to be home to a new location, alongside a specialty vegan bakery and cafe.
“The Village of Richton Park is a warm, welcoming and diverse south suburban village where progress and forward thinking are plentiful,” the statement said.
