YPSILANTI TWP., MI -- The Walmart Supercenter on Ellsworth Road will close within a month, a company spokesman said Wednesday.

Spokesman Phillip Keene said the decision was made based on the store’s “overall financial performance.”

It will close by April 3.

The massive retail chain will offer transfer options to 220 employees, Keene said. Three other supercenters exist within 17 miles of the closing store in Belleville, Canton Township and Pittsfield Township. Employees who do not transfer will be paid through May 8, then offered severance if eligible.

“We will continue to serve customers in new ways across Michigan through store remodels, expanded Grocery Pickup and Grocery Delivery and other ways to save customers time and money," Keene said in a statement. "We will also continue our investments in training to give our associates the skills to succeed and a path to grow their careers.”

Keene said clearance sales will begin in the coming weeks. The 145,000-square-foot store may close before April 3 if sales are successful, though the pharmacy will remain open until the final date.

The Ellsworth Road location underwent a 38,000-square-foot renovation in 2015, according to The Ann Arbor News archives. The building is leased, Keene said.
