No, I don't think so. That seems like a relatively normal thing for a megacorporation with 10,000 stores worldwide. I'm sure it's interesting to some people - if you live in Chicago, if you're an active Walmart investor, if you're a retail industry analyst, but none of that seems particularly relevant here. Presumably every news story is interesting to someone. Also corporate PR is not generally very trustworthy, so the only thing you can take at face value here is that they are closing four stores.
