Laurel Walmart No Longer Open 24 Hours

Several Walmart super centers are reducing their hours starting this week, including the location in Glen Burnie.

These Maryland stores will no longer be open 24 hours, Walmart spokesman Brian Nick told Patch:

• Glen Burnie: 6721 Chesapeake Center Drive
• Severn: 407 George Claus Boulevard
• Laurel: 3549 Russet Green
• Arbutus: 3601 Washington Boulevard
• Baltimore - Golden Ring: 6420 Petrie Way Road
• Randallstown: 8730 Liberty Road
• Germantown: 20910 Frederick Road
• Frederick: 1811 Monocacy Boulevard
• Hagerstown: 17850 Garland Groh Boulevard

Nationwide, Walmart is rolling back round-the-clock operations at 40 stores. Other stores making the move away from being open 24 hours are in the New Jersey and Philadelphia areas, according to the Baltimore Business Journal.

The change was made on a store-by-store basis after the company reviewed patterns of its shoppers, Nick told Bloomberg.

Stores will be open from 6 a.m. to midnight daily, according to Nick.

While they are closed between midnight and 6 a.m., employees can restock shelves, The Daily Journal reported.

Walmart tested the schedule change in more than 20 locations “out west” during the spring, Nick said in an email to Patch. He told The Daily Journal: ”We would expect more stores to do this.”
