Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced Friday that it will shutter an optical lab in Ohio, cutting 650 jobs, as it looks to cut costs by fold its operations into facilities in Indiana and Arkansas.
The world's largest retailer said in a statement that eyewear orders previously sent to the facility in Lockbourne, Ohio, will be dispersed to labs in Crawfordsville, Ind., Fayetteville, Ark., and Dallas.
Wal-Mart also has contracts with Essilor of America and Carl Zeiss Vision, which both operate optical labs in the U.S. and Mexico.
Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart said the Indiana and Arkansas facilities will add a total of approximately 100 jobs
