Walmart Plans Permanent Layoffs for 306 Workers Across Eight Sunnyvale Sites

Walmart plans to permanently lay off 306 workers across eight Sunnyvale sites on Aug. 21, according to California WARN notices filed June 19.

The notices identify a local workforce reduction tied to Walmart’s corporate and technology operations. They do not announce the closure of Sunnyvale retail stores, and they do not show that the layoffs have already occurred.

Eight Sunnyvale notices list 306 workers

The California Employment Development Department report lists these Walmart locations and affected-worker counts:

• 1345 Crossman Ave. — 67 workers
• 1375 Crossman Ave. — 63 workers
• 1395 Crossman Ave. — 68 workers
• 640 W. California Ave. — 3 workers
• 809 11th Ave. — 49 workers
• 815 Eleventh Ave. — 54 workers
• 840 W. California Ave. — 1 worker
• 860 W. California Ave. — 1 worker

The eight notices total 306 workers. The listed sites are on Crossman Avenue, West California Avenue and 11th Avenue, all in Sunnyvale.

Corporate and technology roles are affected

The affected employees are described in independent reporting as corporate, technology, product and design workers connected to Walmart’s online retail, product and platform operations. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the Bay Area operations include technology and corporate employees supporting those functions.

The Sunnyvale layoffs are part of a broader Walmart restructuring announced in May. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Walmart said it was eliminating or relocating about 1,000 technology and product roles as the company reorganized teams and responsibilities.

The local WARN notices provide the specific Sunnyvale count, addresses and effective date. They do not establish whether individual workers will leave Walmart, move into other roles or relocate before Aug. 21.

What is known before Aug. 21

For workers, nearby businesses and residents who track Sunnyvale’s corporate employment base, the filings provide a concrete local measure of Walmart’s broader restructuring. Any effect on nearby spending, office activity or the wider local economy remains uncertain from the notices alone.

The filings do not provide information about severance, individual employee identities, replacement hiring, office closures or future use of the listed sites. They also do not measure any change to Sunnyvale’s unemployment rate.

What is confirmed is narrower: Walmart filed eight Sunnyvale WARN notices on June 19, 2026, covering 306 planned permanent layoffs scheduled to take effect Aug. 21, 2026.
