Walmart in Forest Park will close permanently in April

The company’s decision to shutter the location has nothing to do with employee performance or overall quality of the store, the press release said. Store employees who want to continue working for Walmart will have the option to transfer to another store. In Ohio alone, there are 172 Walmart and Sam’s Clubs.

“We are grateful to the customers who have given us the privilege of serving them at our Forest Park location,” reads a statement from Walmart spokesperson Felicia McCranie. “We look forward to serving them at our other stores in the surrounding communities and on walmart.com.”
