Walmart Debunks Shutdown Rumors: Stores to Stay Open Despite SNAP ConcernsAs the federal government shutdown continues, rumors spread that Walmart might close stores due to a potential pause in food benefits like SNAP. However, Walmart quickly denied these claims, assuring customers that their stores would remain open. The rumors likely stemmed from concerns about SNAP recipients potentially resorting to theft if benefits were suspended. Fact-checkers confirmed that Walmart had no plans to close, and the company's spokesperson emphasized that there were no changes to their operations. Despite the reassurance, the uncertainty surrounding the shutdown has left many families anxious and fueled online rumors. As lawmakers remain deadlocked, the future of SNAP benefits and Walmart's operations hangs in the balance.
