Sint-Truiden and Pelt, Belgium – Belgian electronics retailer Wara will close its stores in Sint-Truiden and Pelt, the company announced on March 23, 2026. The closures are a result of the stores failing to meet the company’s growth expectations.
According to reports, five employees will lose their jobs as a consequence of the decision. Wara’s headquarters in Genk will remain operational.
