The Walmart store in Prince Rupert has been temporarily closed to assess building safety. The closure comes after concerns over the condition of the building, but both the City of Prince Rupert and its Fire Department have confirmed that there is no immediate public risk. Despite this, Walmart made the decision to close out of caution and is continuing to monitor the situation.
Walmart has not yet provided a timeline for reopening but is working to keep customers informed. In the meantime, they are offering complimentary prescription delivery and have a pharmacy team available by phone to assist patients. Customers can also shop at the Terrace Walmart location or online via Walmart.ca.
The Rupert Square Mall, where the store is located, assures that the mall itself is safe. Management has confirmed they are in ongoing discussions with Walmart and are awaiting the store’s reopening. The mall continues to operate as usual while the closure persists.
