Depending on the neighborhood and customer demographics, it maybe due to loss prevention internally and external. Pervasive shoplifting and internal theft will collapse any business. The cost/benefit ratio = close. Just because it is a busy store doesn't mean it is profitable.

Black employees and black shoppers = massive loss to theft

This town is ranked #2 of the worst possible places to live in North Carolina.

Sorry, no conspiracy angle with this closing. Just a good business move by Walmart

Makeshift FEMA camp. Could be a hospital, could be a prison. Probably a bit of both.

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.

But it is not a profitable location, so your post is a fail and not well thought out

Walmart killed Wadesboro NC Main street and now it closes.
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.

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

I have no idea how to post it but do a google street view of the front entrance of this Wadesboro Walmart.

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.

Both stores closing the same dates. May even close earlier, just waiting on inventory to clear out. 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.”
