Bad news for New Britain
From the Courant
The New Britain Wal-Mart will close on Aug. 31, the first time Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has shut down one of its Connecticut locations without replacing or relocating the store.
The store’s 162 workers learned of the closure Wednesday morning.
Chris Buchanan, a Wal-Mart spokesman, said the New Britain store at 655 Farmington Ave. is closing because it “did not meet the company’s expectations.” Employees will be eligible for positions at other Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club locations, Buchanan said.
