The Virginia store will join 23 other Walmart locations in 12 states and Washington, D.C. that are closing in 2023.

“We are grateful to the customers who have given us the privilege of serving them at our Brook Road Neighborhood Market location,” Walmart spokesperson Felicia McCranie said in an emailed statement to Insider.

“We look forward to serving them at our other stores in the surrounding communities including our Brook Road Supercenter just two miles away and on walmart.com.” McCranie added.

The 5221 Brook Road location includes a pharmacy, fuel station, bakery, deli and grocery store, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The pharmacy also will close that Friday and the staff will work with customers to transfer prescriptions to other locations, the newspaper reported.

The retailer cited financial losses as the reason it closed four stores in the Chicago area last month, as well as the reason it closed the last remaining stores in Portland, Oregon, in March.

Walmart CEO Doug McMillion said in a statement that record-breaking retail theft had hurt the company’s economic performance in 2022.

“Theft is an issue. It’s higher than what it has historically been,” McMillon told CNBC. Prices “will be higher and/or stores will close,” McMillon said, if authorities failed to address rampant shoplifting.
