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 (Apr. 23)

EXCELLENT. stained; 69 degrees; 0.12 feet below pool. Fishing patterns remain consistent. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop-offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits with a very slow retrieve off the bottom in 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. The shad spawn is in full swing, so the early shallow wall bite is on fire all over the lake. Fresh caught shad tossed up to the walls on bottom or under a float are a sure way to catch good numbers of nice eating sized catfish. There is still a deeper drifting bite in 12-24 feet of water using cut shad, drum or carp drifted along the bottom. Many fish being caught in the 10-50 pound range. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
