Walmart closing 3 locations in Chicago suburbs

WGN-9 is reporting that Walmart plans to close three stores in the Chicago area by mid-March.

The Walmart stores in Homewood and Plainfield will reportedly be closed to the public by Friday, March 10 and the Walmart Pickup location in Lincolnwood will also be closed to the public by Friday, Feb. 17.

The Homewood and Plainfield locations are closing due to not meeting financial expectations, the company said.

Walmart said it is taking what it learned at the Lincolnwood location and making it part of pick-up and delivery operations at surrounding stores.
