Walmart is getting out of the automotive business in Canada.
The retailer has announced it will be closing its Tire, Lube and Express businesses at its stores nationwide.
Walmart says the closure will impact approximately 550 employees at 106 stores.
In an email from the chain's corporate affairs director, it says the move is being made so Walmart can concentrate on growing its core business of food, consumables, health and wellness, fashion and general merchandise.
