Walmart is closing a batch of stores in 2023 — here's the full list

• Walmart will close 19 stores in 11 states and Washington, DC.  Four Chicago stores are the latest to join the list.
• The company is also winding down its two remaining pickup locations in Illinois and Arkansas.
• Hundreds of workers will also be laid off at five ecommerce fulfillment centers across the US.

Walmart is closing 19 retail locations across the US this year, including four in Chicago, citing poor financial performance at each.

The recent closures follow a trend of Walmart closing a handful of stores across various states each year, with the company saying that the stores are "underperforming" without providing specifics.
