You’re right, but I’ll bet any chain stores that were destroyed will rebuild ASAP - to prevent the unassimilated gibsmedats from sacking the next one a few miles away...
A friend that lives in an expensive area a few towns north of Newark NJ was bemoaning the fact that a Pathmark in a town in between had closed; the “first of the month” shoppers were suddenly showing up in his town (because Newark NJ is also a “food desert”). A lot come into my town as well, but the Shop-Rite is in the corner closest to Newark - in a commercial area. Quarantines the crime...
I miss Shop-Rite...great stores...
