Walmart has long dominated our hearts. This multinational retail corporation was running a large number of markets or supercenters across the United States until the news broke that some of its stores would be closed. The reason was said to be the poor performance of those stores.

In Illinois, the following Walmart stores have closed their doors to consumers.

1. 12690 S. Route 59, Plainfield
2. 17550 South Halsted St, Homewood
3. 840 N. McCormick Blvd, Lincolnwood (Pick-up only concept)

I am not so sure about other locations because I have not been to any other.

Is there any alternative for affected consumers?

A report shows that in 2022, over 200 million consumers used to visit Walmart stores every single week (source). With the closure of a number of stores across Illinois, consumers might be looking for decent alternatives. The good news is that Illinois still has a couple of stores to fulfill your requirements.

1. Target is the retailer where you can find apparel, food and beverages, and beauty products. Also, furniture items are available for consumers. In Illinois, it can be found in Chicago, IL, United States.
2. Costco is a member-only wholesale retailer that can be your alternative to Walmart. You can buy floor care items, vacuum cleaners, laundry cleaners, beverages, and other similar items here. Illinois has so many Costco stores but the major ones are Bloomingdale, IL, United States, North Riverside, IL, United States, and Orland Park, IL, United States.
3. Best Buy is suitable for those who are looking for consumer electronics. Its major locations in Illinois are North Riverside, IL, United States, Fairview Heights, IL, United States, and Bloomington, IL, United States.
