Pittsburgh-Area Walmart To Permanently Close
Walmart is shuttering one of its Western Pennsylvania locations, the retailer confirmed Monday.
PITTSBURGH, PA — It's the end of an era at the Waterworks Mall on the Pittsburgh-Aspinwall border. Walmart, which took over an old Ames location when that retail chain went under in 2002, confirmed Monday its Waterworks location will close by Veterans Day.
Underperforming sales were cited as the reason.
The big-box retailer this spring closed locations in Louisville, KY; Forest Park, OH; Bellevue, WA; Guilford, CT and Mayfield Heights OH. Financial underperformance was cited as the reason for those closings as well.
