The internet is a great place to complain. This is more evidence of that. Shoppers around the country were invited to sound off about their least favorite places to buy groceries and boy did they produce a list. Missouri is loaded with 128 of the #1 least liked grocery store that shoppers claim they loathe, yet come back to time and time again.
There are some new Walmart facts to consider in 2024 and more than a heaping helping of speculation. I have some of both as many are wondering out loud if Walmart would dare to close any Missouri stores in 2024? The answer is a great big maybe.
2023 was another tough year for retail and that even included major retailers like Walmart. In 2023 alone, they closed more stores in Illinois than any other state and they've already begun closing some locations in 2024. Will Illinois once again see more of these neighborhood big box stores putting "we're closed" on the front doors?
Two grocery stores that have ten locations combined throughout Indiana were recently named the most overpriced grocery stores in America. Any guesses?

I don't want this to be awkward because I realize that discussing what people earn at their jobs is personal business. However, Walmart just shared some details publicly about the earnings of their store managers in Missouri and it looks like life just got a lot better for them.
Walmart's CEO, Doug McMillon, addressed this concern in an interview with CNBC almost a year ago, acknowledging that theft has become a more substantial issue recently.
