OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Walmart announced the closure of Hayneedle's headquarters in Omaha on Thursday. About 200 people will be impacted according to a statement by a Walmart spokesperson, which owns the company.

Walmart says Hayneedle.com will continue to operate and says about 100 employees who will remain with the company will be relocated to Hayneedle's customer service center in Omaha. Walmart says it will be assisting employees during the transition and that those impacted will receive a 60-day notice.

In 2016, Hayneedle was purchased by Jet.com and shortly after, Jet.com was purchased by Walmart.
