A Coast Walmart suspends online ordering, grocery pick-up due to low food supply

Walmart in Pass Christian has temporarily shut down online shopping and grocery pickup orders because of a low food supply, the store announced on Facebook.

The halt to the online shopping and grocery pickup is expected to resume Sept. 18 after the store is able to restock their shelves.

In-store shopping will remain open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

“We apologize for the inconvenience this causes our community,” representatives of Walmart said in public Facebook post.

The public Facebook post has been shared 65 times and prompted some shoppers to ask whether they will receive any refund for their monthly online shopping services.

The stock at many Mississippi grocery stores, including Walmart, is low because many Louisiana resident are coming to the state to shop for food and other supplies n the aftermath of catastrophic damages and widespread power outages in Louisiana from Hurricane Ida.

Other Walmart stores along the Coast have temporarily closed and later reopened for deep cleanings after exposure to the COVID-19. The Pass Walmart was one of them.
