“We realize that the closure of an underperforming store in these communities can be challenging,” Caldwell said. “We do not take these decisions lightly and only make this tough choice after careful consideration of its impact on our associates and our customers has been made.
“The successful execution of our strategy will at times require us to make difficult decisions that may impact some of our associates. We are committed to ensuring all associates are treated with the dignity, respect and compassion they deserve. They were the first to know of this decision and have our dedicated support during this transition,” Caldwell said.
Caldwell said stores will close on or before March 25.
“Our associates are committed to serving your community with the same level of service, value and quality you have come to expect from your store while the process is ongoing,” he said.
