Chicago residents are rallying against Walmart’s decision to permanently close four locations in the city, which took effect on Sunday. Little Village, one of the neighborhoods affected by the closings, saw a protest over the weekend, with residents voicing their frustration and disappointment. The closures are part of Walmart’s pullback from metropolitan areas, including Chicago, as the company aims to focus on its e-commerce operations. But some residents see the move as another example of corporate America ignoring the needs of low-income communities. Other Walmart stores across the country, including 10 in April, have also closed due to underperformance. A full list of Walmart store closings in 2023 is available for review.
