Merit warned us about this a long time back. Walmart has certain deals with the gov in the event of an emergency like a pandemic. The buildings themselves are easily outfitted to serve a variety of purposes, and the corporation has the logistics expertise to connect them up. If a busy and profitable location in a strategic place just shuts down out of the blue, that's probably why. |

If you live in Wadesboro you still have a choice of Dollar Tree or Dollar General so $1 China Crap can still be found, no worry...Well now that the China factories are closed you may just have a problem. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 78569928 United States 03/05/2020 02:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This town is ranked #2 of the worst possible places to live in North Carolina. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78569928 Sorry, no conspiracy angle with this closing. Just a good business move by Walmart Which means a lot of steady EBT money streaming in each month. It also means theft, crime, and low quality employees. Managers don’t want to work there. Turnover is a big problem The store was not worth the trouble, Walmart decided. Better to open stores in clean suburban areas frequented by soccer moms |

You can actually see "the customers" walking in the front door... The address is 2004 US-74 W, Wadesboro, NC 28170 No conspiracy just the customer base. |

Hmmmm “the store will close by April 3, but said it could close earlier depending on how quickly the stores empties inventory. He did say its pharmacy would remain open until April 3.” |
