I used to wonder about this Walmart<\/i> on Bush River Road in the old Bush River Mall<\/a> location. I would be eating late at Fuddruckers<\/a> or El Chico<\/a> and decide I would stop by Walmart<\/i> on the way home to pick up a few things when it was less crowded. The first few times I found it closed, I figured they were ramping up staffing and hours at a new store, but eventually I figured out it was never going to be a 24-hour store, as most were at that time.<\/p>\n

The State<\/a> has the story, attributing the closing to \"low sales\", though I suspect shrinkage and other factors played into things as well. The pharmacy will be closing this week, on 22 January.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 1 April 2021<\/b> -- All the signage is down, though the place still looks pretty good:<\/p>\n
