This view shows the main facade of a Walmart store in Mexico City on October 27, 2025. Walmart is setting the record straight after viral TikTok videos falsely claimed that all of its stores would close on November 1 due to possible unrest over a lapse in federal food assistance funding. The videos, which spread rapidly across TikTok this week, alleged that Walmart would "lock its doors" and only allow customers to shop online because of threats tied to the potential suspension of SNAP benefits.
