Walmart Location To Close In Brooklyn Center

BROOKLYN CENTER, MN — Walmart is set to close its superstore at Brooklyn Center's Shingle Creek Crossing shopping center.

The retail giant will shutter the location on April 21. Poor financial performance was a primary factor behind the decision, the corporation said.

"We are grateful to the customers who have given us the privilege of serving them at our Brooklyn Center location," Robert Arrieta, a spokesperson for the company, told Patch in an email. "We look forward to serving them at our other stores in the surrounding communities and on walmart.com."

Associates in the store will be eligible for transfer.

Walmart is the latest supermarket to close in the northwest metro. The north Minneapolis Aldi and Walgreens stores closed last month.

The Brooklyn Center Target closed in 2019.
