Walmart is closing or has already closed at least 15 stores across 10 US states and Canada.

The stores include Walmart Supercenters in Dallas and Lafayette, Louisiana, as well as Walmart Neighborhood Market stores in Arizona, California, Kansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington.

The closing date for most of the affected stores was April 19, according to employees of those stores, who confirmed the closings to Business Insider. A store in Bedford, New Hampshire, is expected to close in June.

Walmart representatives previously confirmed the closings to various local media outlets but did not immediately return Business Insider’s request for comment.

Walmart Neighborhood Markets are about one-fifth the size of a Walmart Supercenter, and they are typically found in areas that are more urban than locations for Supercenters. These stores focus primarily on selling groceries.
