Walmart has announced it will shutter half of its Chicago stores this weekend. The retail giant says the four stores — two on the South Side, one in Lakeview and one in Little Village — have not been profitable since opening the first one 17 years ago.

Reset hears how these closures will affect access to groceries and pharmacies on the South and West sides, and what community leaders want to see in place of the stores.
