Walmart has shortened the hours at five Atlanta stores, now closing at 9 p.m. instead of 11 p.m.
The company cited feedback from store managers, employees, and shoppers in making the decision.
Last month, city officials announced that another area store would include a workspace for police.

Shoppers at five Atlanta-area Walmart stores now have less time for late-night shopping runs after the company announced a reduction in operating hours at those locations.
