Walmart is set to lay off more than 1,400 employees in the area of Dallas as part of a reduction in operations. The retailer has announced the closure of its facility at 603 Munger Blvd. and a call center at 1025 W Trinity Mills Rd. in Carrollton, according to Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letters sent to the state.

The shutdown of the Munger Blvd. facility will affect 1,266 employees, although not all will be laid off. Some associates work remotely and are expected to either relocate or continue their employment in new positions within the organization before the end of a paid transition period. Walmart indicated that a majority of the employees will be asked to relocate to one of the company’s primary offices, with many offered jobs at the headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, or at offices in the San Francisco area or Hoboken, New Jersey.

The closure of the call center at 1025 W Trinity Mills Rd. in Carrollton will impact 206 employees. Affected workers are encouraged to apply for open positions at other Walmart locations during a 90-day paid transition period. Those who do not secure employment elsewhere within the company following the transition period will be laid off starting August 9.

Walmart is providing support resources for the impacted staff members, including severance pay, continued access to its career portal, and an Associate Support Center to address policy questions. The company has yet to comment publicly on the layoffs.
