AURORA, Colo. — Walmart is set to close one of its neighborhood markets in Aurora next week, leaving neighbors and shoppers concerned about what it will mean for the area.Kay Abdul spends a lot of time on the road as a truck driver.

In a Facebook post, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman noted the store was located “in the most difficult area of the city in terms of crime.” In a separate post, Coffman said Walmart “has a reputation for being tolerant of shoplifting.” But state Senator Rhonda Fields, who represents the area, said that’s not what she’s seen.

Fields said if people are stealing, “that's even more of a need to make sure that we have access to food, livable wages, access to affordable housing.”“There is no single cause for why a store closes and our decision is based on several factors, including historic and current financial performance, and is in line with the threshold that guides our strategy to close underperforming locations,” a Walmart spokesperson said in a statement.

Walmart said employees at the store are eligible to transfer to another location. Some employees told Denver7 they planned to do that.
