Kemp Walmart to close before 1st anniversary in business; shutdown one of 29 stores closing in Texas




Kemp residents soon will be without a full-service grocery store once again.

The Walmart neighborhood grocery that opened in the first quarter of 2015 will shutdown along with 269 other stores nationwide, including 29 in Texas.

The last day of business for most stores will be Jan. 28, according to corporate offices.

Most of the stores closing down opened about a year ago in rural markets.

Walmart officials said they expect customers of the smaller 12,000-square-foot Express stores to shop at the corporation's supercenter stores.

Walmart operates supercenters in Gun Barrel City and Kaufman, which represent long drives on busy highways.

Corporate officials said the closings were necessary to maximize profits and keep the company strong.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 28)

GOOD. stained; 77 degrees; 0.24 feet above pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy! Start looking for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Focus on using slabs on drop offs and along seawalls early in the mornings in depth of 5-14 feet. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinners and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish are good on humps in 5-20 feet on fresh shad, or drifting in 15-25 feet of water for bigger fish. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
