The north metro is losing another major retailer.
On Tuesday, Walmart announced it will close its superstore in the Shingle Creek Crossing shopping center in Brooklyn Center on April 21, a major blow to customers in need of cheap and convenient groceries and other household necessities.
"This place is busy. If you take it out of the community, I don't know what people will do," said 45-year-old Abraham Ugas of Brooklyn Park as he finished shopping for his family Tuesday afternoon.
