Pleasanton Walmart Neighborhood Market Closing

PLEASANTON, CA — The Walmart Neighborhood Market on 3112 Santa Rita Road in Pleasanton will close Oct. 2, a Walmart representative confirmed to Patch. The store's pharmacy will also close.

Walmart spokesperson Anne Hatfield did not provide a reason for the store's closing, though she did say that "it's important to point out that we have three Walmart stores within eight miles of this location - the next closest store is one mile away," suggesting possible over saturation. There is a full-service Walmart in Livermore, and a newly remodeled Neighborhood Market in San Ramon.

Roughly 90 employees work in Pleasanton, and they are eligible to transfer to another store, Hatfield said.

“We are grateful to the customers who have given us the privilege of serving them at our Pleasanton Neighborhood Market. We look forward to continuing to serve them at our other Pleasanton store or other nearby locations, on walmart.com and through delivery to their home or business," the store said in a statement.
