Two closings in MI (south Lansing and Farmington Hills).

The store on the south side of Lansing is in a declining area (Sam's still has a store in the Lansing area in the Eastwood Town Center about three miles north of MSU)

In Sacramento, a Sam's Club and a Wal-Mart, both located in the same shopping center, are closing.
Welcome to Breezewood, PA... the parking lot between I-70 and I-70.

Neither one is adjacent to a Walmart either which seems like most Sam's are.

I take it then Oregon will still be one of 2 sates to not have a Sam's club for all of eternity.

It appears that most of the closing locations are near existing Costco stores. Not surprising at all.

I thought it was Vermont. They don't even have a Super Wal Mart.

I'm pretty sure Berlin Mall in Berlin just outside of Montpelier has one. I don't see any Walmart's in the Burlington area though at all.

There's a Walmart near Burlington. Every large settlement has one nearby, whether it be in VT or just across the Connecticut River. There is NO Sam's Club in the state, though. Costco has one store. There's a BJ's in Lebanon, NH and Sam's Club in Plattsburgh and Albany, NY. And Vermont does have a couple of Supercenters. Berlin and Derby. Do note that there are a few just across the border in NH (which is where most of these places open up anyway for tax reasons).

Speaking of Walmart, I noticed some of the Walmart supercenters are no longer open 24/7.

A ton of them aren't, at least in these parts. Very little in the Albany area is open 24/7 outside of a few gas stations.

5 of the 21 Walmarts within 30 miles of me are open 24 hours, but many of the ones that used to close at midnight (including the one in my town) now close at 10 PM.  The Walgreens near me that was open 24 hours now closes at midnight, despite being right across the street from a 24-hour CVS.  The only supermarket open 24/7 is Price Chopper, 3 of the 8 Dunkins and 1 of the 2 McDonald's in town have 24 hour windows, plus there's Denny's, a couple of gas stations, and a TA truck stop.

Almost all in my area are 24 hours, including Neighborhood Markets.

Same here (for standard Walmarts -- no Neighborhood Markets up here). The only ones that operate 0600-midnight are in the seedy neighborhoods. A brand new Walmart in Tacoma opened a few years ago with 24/7 hours, but changed to part-time hours due to (from what I was told) crime and homeless issues.

That's the same story I heard too.

Sherwood was almost anti-Walmart when it was coming in, so when they could no longer stop it, they put a resolution to the city council to make all businesses over 3,000 square feet to have open hours no greater than 5am-1am. THe Wal-Mart Hours here are 5-1 now.

A year or two ago Walmart almost universally closed all their 24 hour stores at midnight or so.  That lasted a very short period of time, and many went back to remaining open 24 hours.

The Walmart Supercenter on Corunna Road in Flint closes at midnight and I think the Fenton Walmart Supercenter also closes at midnight. Other than that the other one's I know of are open 24 hours.

In the Boise area (including Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, etc.), about half of them used to be 24 hours stores. Over the past year or 2, they've all shifted to closing at either midnight or 1 AM. The only 24 hour grocery store around here is Winco, but they have a good number of locations (and all of them are 24h). And they are large stores with a large selection of food, so in terms of groceries you're set.

There are only 3 2 24 hours pharmacies in the area: Walgreens on Cole and Fairview in Boise, Rite Aid on State and 15th in Boise, and Walgreens on 12th Ave and 7th St in Nampa nope they close at midnight now, wow. The rest usually close at 10 (a bit earlier for some Rite Aids, particularly on Sunday).

For 24 hour retail places other than those, you're pretty much left to Jacksons and Maverik C-Stores (most are 24h, and they are plentiful), and about half of the McDonald's locations. Plus like Denny's and IHOP of course.

The Neighborhood Markets in my area are changing their hours to 6:00am - 11:00pm.

It's rare I need anything that early in the morning, but it's nice if someone's feeling unwell. They've always been empty stores, save the stock clerks and lone cashier, at 5am or so.

I know Ludington Walmart was 24h at one point and shifted to 6am-midnight or something like that. They may be back to 24h now or go back during the summer months.

Almost all Meijer stores are 24 hours, with a couple of exceptions in the Chicago and Milwaukee areas (inner city locations)

Ludington is listed as 24 hours. Whitehall, Fremont and Big Rapids are all listed as 24 hours as well.

This isn't Sam's Club or Walmart but rather the Kroger store one mile from my house is changing from being open 24 hours to 6am-1am starting February 5th. The Kroger in Grand Blanc use to be open 24 hours and no longer is either. As a matter of fact I tried going to the Grand Blanc Kroger in the middle of the night one day after they stopped being open 24 hours.

On a tangentially-related note,  Arvest Bank seems to be closing many of their locations inside Walmart.  Arvest is owned by the Walton family. No explanation has been given.
