Walmart has announced the impending closure of its South High Street store in Columbus due to underperformance, with doors set to shut on February 16.
The decision not to renew the store’s lease reflects Walmart’s strategic adjustments based on store success metrics. Despite the closure, Walmart is ensuring a smooth transition for its employees, offering transfers to alternate locations and guaranteeing pay until May 3, followed by severance for those unable to relocate.
Additionally, to maintain continuity in customer service, the store’s pharmacy will continue operating until March 4, with arrangements made for transferring prescriptions to other Walmart pharmacies, showcasing the company’s commitment to its customers and employees during transitions.
