"Wal-Mart declined to comment directly about store closings, telling Reuters it is 'constantly reviewing its portfolio and making decisions based on what's best for the business and clients'."
• A grand jury has indicted Kevin Roper, the driver of the Walmart tractor trailer that was was the cause of a crash that seriously injured actor Tracy Morgan and killed another comedian last year.
