The Walmart located on FM 620 is scheduled to close in two weeks. 269 Walmarts are closing worldwide and 154 stores are closing across the United States. Wal-Mart is shutting this particular store down because it does not have enough business and funds to sustain itself. About 10,000 employees will be affected by the closures nationwide.

“It’s the only place that is open all night,” regular Wal-mart customer Ryan Silvia said. “Now what will I do when I want food at 3 a.m.?”

The Four Points Walmart will be shutdown on Jan. 28, some states have closing dates as early as Jan. 17 and as late as Feb. 5.
