AURORA, Colo. — Walmart announced Friday it will close a Walmart Neighborhood Market location in Aurora.
The store at 10400 E. Colfax Ave., near Havana Street, will close the store to the public on Friday, June 7.
"This decision was not made lightly and was reached only after a careful and thoughtful review process," Walmart said in a news release. "We have nearly 5,000 stores across the U.S. and unfortunately some do not meet our financial expectations. While our underlying business is strong, this specific store hasn’t performed as well as we hoped."
Walmart said all of the store's 130 employees will be eligible to transfer to a nearby store.
The company said it has eight other Walmart locations in the area, including a Neighborhood Market and a Supercenter within five miles of this location, and more than 100 Walmart stores and Sam’s Clubs in Colorado.
“We are grateful to the customers who have given us the privilege of serving them at our Walmart store at 10400 E. Colfax Ave.,” said Walmart spokesperson Kelsey Bohl.
