Texas is a "Right to Work" state. I don't think it would be a union problem. The store that closed near to me was busy ALL the time. It could have lines at checkout at 3am. By closing, they are losing big money. It was by no means, a marginal store. besides, why not just say, "They were marginal stores and we closed them."It's not plumbing, it's not unions, it's not a marginal store. It was suggested that the $1 an hour raise for everyone could be paid for by closing these stores for 6 mo. but I can assure you they would lose more than they gained.

I'm still leaning for a government reason, like storing illegals or storing dissidents. There isn't a whole lot more reasons they would chose to lose money like this. I'm also hearing the gubmint paid them a $billion to do this.If you start to see the stores empty the shelving and haul it off, we know it's not plumbing. Obama just has a year and a half to get done whatever he has to get done. I don't think whatever is done with the store will make the residents happy here. Livingston is too big to do without the Walmart.

chuck, with all the weapons around here I seriously doubt it’s closed to house illegals or dissidents, although I hear there is a new illegal spring offensive coming in from the south. I do think though there would be true dissent from the locals though if either were true. Speaking of Livingston of course.

or storing food purchased under govt contract and shipped in to supply camps with a whole lot of people, like massive refugees inflows? or people forced to relocate from a coming natural disaster?

remember reading the specs in Alcee Hastings’ “National Emergency Centers” H.R. 645? Go back and dig them up. The locations noted may be in process of being pumped up to meet those specs.

Couple years back they expanded an old Walmart store here into one of those ‘super sized Walmarts.’ That required lots of construction work and even the parking lot torn up to lay the new plumbing. The store was open 24/7.

That said, I am not believing they had to close these stores due to plumbing issues, even if they had to tear up the interior to make repairs.
