Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, has announced plans to close several of its California locations this month as part of a broader business strategy.

The closures are not related to financial issues but are part of a shift in the company's approach, focusing on local market stores rather than its traditional supercenter model.

The following California stores are set to close in October:

• 2121 Imperial Avenue, San Diego
• 605 Fletcher Parkway, El Cajon
• 2753 E. Eastland Center Drive, West Covina
• 4080 Douglas Boulevard, Granite Bay
• 40580 Albrae Street, Fremont

While these closures mark a significant shift, Walmart plans to open new locations across the country by the end of 2024. This new strategy aims to provide a more localized shopping experience for customers.
