Just saw this on KTHV Twitter feed, closure of Walmart and Sam’s stores in Little Rock on account of demonstrations, apparently part of the continuing Black Lives Matter protests in Little Rock.

I’ve sent an inquiry to Walmart corporate.

UPDATE: They responded that these stores had been closed today after protests began about 10:30 a.m. today.

  • Walmart #5244, Cantrell Road
  • Walmart #126, S Shackleford Rd.
  • Walmart #5708, Bowman Rd.
  • Sam’s Club #8104, Bowman Rd
  • Walmart #124 (Baseline Road)

“We’re monitoring this situation closely and will continue closing stores as a safety precaution for our customers and associates.  We recognize the important role we play in the Little Rock community and plan to reopen stores at an appropriate time.”

Will Yandell is on the scene.

Also Alexis Wainwright from KARK:

Business has been disrupted, obviously, and customers inconvenienced, but there have been no reports of violence or damage. Police are out in force and consulted with Walmart in decisions today. I have asked if it prompted any no police actions.
