Walmart is closing multiple stores in 2024 and 2025 due to financial underperformance and lease issues, particularly in California and a few other states. Here is a summary of confirmed store closures: Walmart Stores Closing in 2024 and 2025:

• California:
  • 2121 Imperial Avenue, San Diego
  • 605 Fletcher Parkway, El Cajon
  • 2753 Eastland Center Drive, West Covina

These closures have been attributed mainly to stores not meeting financial expectations and, in some cases, the inability to renew leases

. Walmart is also actively opening new stores and renovating many others, with plans to build or remodel over 150 stores and renovate 650 locations over the next five years, reflecting a strategic shift rather than an overall contraction

. In summary, while Walmart is closing around 11 or more underperforming stores across several states in 2024 and continuing some closures into 2025, the company remains robust and is investing in new and remodeled locations
