Walmart closes 269 stores mostly in U.S., none in Canada

Walmart will close 269 stores most of them in the U.S. with a large number in Brazil but none in Canada. The stores being closed are a small part of Walmart’s 11,000 stores.  Nearly all of the stores to be closed in the U.S. are within 16 kilometres of another Walmart. Many are the Walmart Express locations launched in 2011. The closings begin in February.
