Walmart is closing its stores in North and Southeast Portland, saying the two locations have not met financial expectations. The retail giant said it plans to shutter the stores at the Delta Park and Eastport Plaza shopping centers, including their pharmacies, on March 24. The company said it would work with its staff to instruct customers on how to transfer prescriptions to pharmacies of their choice.

The workers, who are not represented by a union, were notified of their layoffs on Wednesday and that they can apply for openings at other Walmart or Sam’s Club locations.
