Walmart closes 2 locations in metro Atlanta – 95.5 WSB

COBB COUNTY/DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Two Walmart stores in metro Atlanta will soon be permanently closed.

The Walmart Supercenter located at 4725 Ashford Dunwoody Road in Dunwoody and the Walmart Neighborhood Market located at 3101 Roswell Road in Marietta will close July 12.

Walmart spokeswoman Alicia Anger said those stores didn’t perform as well as the company had hoped.

Employees at both locations can be transferred to other stores and will be paid until September 20.

Pharmacy staff will work with customers to transfer prescriptions to another Walmart location.

The Marietta store has 92 employees and the Dunwoody store employs 303 people.

Anger released the following statement on behalf of Walmart:

“We are grateful to the customers who have given us the privilege of serving them at our Dunwoody, GA and Marietta, GA stores. We look forward to continuing to serve them at one of nine other area locations, on walmart.com and through delivery to their home or business.
