Eight Neighborhood Market stores is a mere fraction of the banner’s total footprint, but the closures are notable for a retailer that is otherwise white-hot when it comes to grocery sales.
Walmart Neighborhood Market was first launched in 1998 and stores are about 38,000 square feet, around one-fifth of the size of Walmart’s supercenters. The banner focuses primarily on grocery offerings including fresh produce, meat, bakery and deli departments and pharmacies.
