Whether you have a wide variety of products to cross off your shopping list or you're just looking to cash in on the company's "everyday low prices" motto, Walmart is the go-to store for many of us. And it certainly doesn't hurt that you'd be hard-pressed not to run across one of this retail giant's stores when shopping, as there are more than 5,000 Walmart locations spread across the country. But despite the company's large presence, not every Walmart is made to last forever.

Several Walmart stores in the U.S. are slated to close by the end of May, impacting a number of cities throughout the country. Based on various reports from regional newspapers, the company is shuttering certain "underperforming" locations as a result of both historic and current financial performance. But Walmart spokesman Brian Little recently told the Louisville Courier Journal that the upcoming closures are not part of a larger nationwide series of shutdowns.

"These are never easy decisions, but actively managing our portfolio is essential to maintaining a healthy business. This is done on a case-by-case basis and only after a careful and thorough review," Little told the newspaper on March 23. Of course, that doesn't mean iyong local Walmart is necessarily safe. Read on to find out which locations are being permanently shuttered over the next two months.

The retail giant is planning to close a location on Mayfield Road in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, on May 20, making it the second Ohio Walmart store getting the axe this spring—this time in the Cleveland area. At least one city official was surprised by the announcement, according to Cleveland.com. Mayor Anthony DiCicco said he isn't sure what meets the definition of an underperforming store for Walmart but said that the city's location is located in what he views as a robust shopping plaza.

"It's a phenomenal location that's for sure," DiCicco told the news outlet, noting that the plaza has easy highway access and high traffic. "It's a pretty prominent spot in our city, too."
