The Last Days at the Closing Walmart: An Empty Store, No Switch Games & 75% Off!

[coolpawz]

Reminds me when Sears was going out of business. And when they said everything must go, they LITERALLY meant Shelves, display items, EVEN THE MANNEQUINS WERE BEING SOLD!!!!

My nana used to play those PC games all the time. Just another low stress easy activity to go with her crosswords and books.

Fun fact: Retailers that are closing single locations ship out the high dollar items like consoles, laptops, TV's, etc., to sister locations before the huge sale percentages start. So the PlayStation and Switch cabinets were empty LONG before he got there.

A closing store is like a whalefall in the deep ocean, picked absolutely clean except for the odd bone.

You know your product sux when the stored has been raided, but the inventory is still fully stocked.

You know your area is finished when Walmart is closing.

Those puzzle find games are for our more tech savvy elderly people. My grandmother absolutely loves them, will finish one and go on to the next

My grandmother worked for Walmart when I was growing up and every time they were going to throw away the old large, hanging cardboard posters for upcoming DVD releases, she’d bring them home for me instead. I still have the massive Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Wars Return of the Jedi posters hanging around and a few of the smaller DVD price versions of a couple of Harry Potter movies.

Wish I had a Walmart with discounts like that

It’s great to know if an apocalypse ever happens, all Walmarts in existence will have funko pops collecting dust on a shelf.

A closing Walmart is scarier economically than a closing mall ever was.

I love how everytime these Walmart stores close, they’re always in abundance of expired Karl gummies while everything else is already bought up

My husband and I went to Walmart a little while after one of the Deadpool movies came out and we saw a life sized Deadpool cutout sticker on one of the freezer doors. As a massive Deadpool fan, my husband decided he absolutely needed that sticker. We found a random employee, asked if we could have it, and though they were confused as hell, they said they would just end up tossing it anyway so we could have it. This fuckin sticker has stood the test of time and has been moved multiple times. It’s been on a glass shower door, walls, and various closet doors, all while only receiving a small tear in a weird corner area. If you see cool display items that are out of date or are about to be out of date (like past the premiere date of a movie or game) and you want it, ask! The worst thing they can tell you is “no” but usually, they’re happy to not have to dispose of it themselves.

Dudes hooked on Walmart and showing us what everyone agrees as a society shouldn’t exist in stores. Good data for Walmart to have in the future honestly.

I don't know why, but seeing the abundance of left-over Funkos made me chuckle

I remember me and my fiance, when we were in high school, going to the mall and finding out it was the final closing day of a vintage video game store that we loved to frequent. They were selling the wooden panels off the walls and the metal shelving units. Literally anything that wasn't bolted down (sometimes not even that) was being sold. Sad day.

My Wal-Mart gave me a BOTW display years ago, they were changing the displays and I just happened to be walking by and said, "this is cool can i have it?", and to my surprise the worker said yes! I still have it and get compliments on it.

This reminds me of the slow death of my local K-Mart. It couldn’t compete with Walmart and was thusly always empty, but it took years to die.


Great store to be alone and listen to ambient music while perusing half-filled electronic shelves.

You could press a call employee button, and surprise, nobody would show!

When a Walmart closes in your neighborhood. That's a really bad sign your town is going to 💩, considered not profitable is scary 😳

As amazing as it may be, I actually had no idea the Walmart near you was closing. Thanks for letting me know, good looking out. 👍🏻
