MILWAUKEE – Two Milwaukee Walmarts will close Thursday for sanitation purposes, a news release said.
The Walmart locations at 103rd and Silver Spring on the city’s northwest side and 27th and Ohio on the city’s south side, will both close at 2 p.m. Thursday and plan to reopen at 6 a.m. on Jan. 1.
This will allow extra time for a third-party specialist to further sanitize the store and will also give our associates additional time to restock shelves and prepare the store to once again serve the community. We plan to reopen the store to customers at 6 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 1.
