Pretty much the same thing, they are opening a bunch of smaller stores, layoffs and store closures across the country - it's lively here on layoffs dot com - here is their thread: &wal-mart-stores (also &kmart is closing many stores) - things are not good for stores, not sure what's going on but everyone is freaking out it looks to me we are about to hit another #recession

Nothing to see here. It's about 150 stores overseas and 150 in the US -- Express locations, those tiny little stores that are like Family Dollar or Dollar General stores. They're opening about the same number of supercenters and neighborhood markets (groceries only). Not a big deal, they're exiting the microstore format is all.
Remember wholefoods.com? Yeah, no one else does either.
This store is BS, They are opening new updated stores in the same communities where a store is closing. This is a non story. Don't be fooled by the liberal media.
People hate old concept stores with poorly treated employees, TJs doing well
I can tell you one thing, that is, on-line sales are literally 'sucking the blood' out of brick and mortar stores. Look at BlueApron and ChefsWarehouse literally have created a new dimension in food buying! Wake up WholeFoods, it's time you smelt the coffee! Off course we will wait and see!
