A Walmart facility is eliminating jobs.

The company is laying off employees at its Optical Lab on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard in Fayetteville.

In all, 28 positions will be eliminated in Fayetteville.

Optical Labs in Texas and Indiana will also be affected.

According to Walmart reps, the layoffs will allow the Optical Lab to make its operations more efficient, eliminate duplication and reduce costs.

Walmart reps also say the affected employees will be able to apply for jobs elsewhere in the company.

The Walmart Optical Lab in Fayetteville employs 725 people.
