The direct answer
A closure affects pages, maps, links and customer routing. Deleting the page alone can leave customers following old search results to an unexplained error.
Start with the evidence
Confirm the closure date and whether another team can serve existing customers. Inventory the location's page, profiles, directions links and forms.
Make the change deliberately
Publish a clear transition where appropriate and update eligible profiles through their supported processes. Redirect only to a genuinely relevant destination, not indiscriminately to the homepage.
