Walmart announced that four stores located in Chicago would be closing within the next week, catching both local shoppers and employees by surprise.
The retail giant's Chicago footprint will be cut in half by April 16, when four stores, including the Chatham Supercenter, are set to close.
Neighborhood Market Walmart stores in Little Village, Lakeview and Kenwood are also all set to close, with Walmart citing underperforming sales as the primary reason behind the closures.
However, four Walmart stores in Chicago are slated to remain open beyond April 16, including two supercenters on the Northwest Side.
