The Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania Supercenter will be closed from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. beginning in April, the report indicated.
Wal-Mart corporate headquarters did not reveal which stores will have their hours cut.
A spokesman from Walmart said the company will close from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. at 100 stores in the country over the course of 2019.
Walmart said the change is to make sure associates are working when and where customers need them most.
According to Walmart's statistics, most people are shopping there between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
Wal-Mart's supercenters on 15th and Rangeline and on 7th Street are currently open 24 hours. No information has been released about whether hours will change at either store.
If they close the Galena Walmart (west 7th street) where will the tweakers go for 5 hours?

DeleteThe usual suspects demanded that Walmart raise its nationwide minimum wage. Now many of its employees are experiencing "bad luck."¹
ReplyDeleteThe same will happen state wide as the state's minimum wage rises, see also the decline and fall of many retail establishments, especially restaurants, in big Blue cities that have already done this. The true minimum wage is $0, if your labor isn't worth the official minimum wage.
¹"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded -- here and there, now and then -- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck."

And people just dont get this.
DeleteAmazon is taking over. It hurts Walmart in two ways. First, by losing out on the initial product sold and second, by the loss of impulse buying.
