One Walmart Supercenter in Springfield is no longer open overnight

The Walmart Supercenter at 2825 N. Kansas Expressway in Springfield is no longer open 24 hours.

The store is now open 6 a.m. to midnight, Walmart spokesman Brian Nick told the News-Leader on Wednesday. The new hours went into effect this past weekend.

Nick told the Advertiser in Lafayette, Louisiana, that the change is being made at about 200 of the chain’s 4,500 stores in the United States.

“We analyzed shopping patterns and made the decision to reduce hours at some locations to get our stores in good shape for customers the following day,” he said.

Bloomberg News reported in 2013 on the perception that the company was struggling to restock shelves, although the company disputed the premise of the story at that time.

Other Springfield-area Walmart locations are not affected by the change, although the Walmart Neighborhood Market at 3720 E. Sunshine St. is only open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. because of an agreement between the company and the city.
