I am sure that the three stores in the Chicago area in the Milwaukee store or closing because of theft issues. Bad situation when you have 4 to 10% of your products walking out the door and the police just say nothing I can do our sister won’t allow us to arrest them.

No bail is intended consequences by the Democrats.

The chicago area closings alone will undoubtedly save millions in pilferage.

Customers were surprised that the store is closing, telling Fox 32 Chicago that the Homewood Walmart is “always busy.”


Always busy being ripped off, it seems

I read an article about Walmart a while back where the CEO said that they had lost $400 million for the year due to theft. He said that they would raise prices and shut afflicted stores.

I'm waiting for blacks to complain about the closings.

Yes, here it is:

Walmart May Close Stores, Increase Prices Due To Theft, CEO Says

"The CEO of Walmart said an increase in theft at the supermarket stores could lead to store locations closing and higher prices for items, according to a new report"

Closures due to mass shoplifting?

This is why stores have closed in California, especially in the San Francisco area.

The one in Albuquerque is in what the locals refer to as The War Zone.

The Albuquque location is closing due to theft. It is located in an area called ‘the War Zone’. The druggies/homeless wandering the area make it look like a scene from World War Z or Night of the Living Dead. Albuquerque votes for the lawlessness so no sympathy from me.

“The retailer previously said that there’s no single reason for the closures..”

Like hell there isn’t!😎

Maybe the regular shoplifters living near these Walmarts will pack up and “immigrate” their asses to Mexico to seek asylum from the mean old U.S. Government who won’t force Walmart to keep these shoplifting food desert targets open.

I drive past the Bentonville location at least twice a day.
There are rarely any customers there.

Theft is a racist concept to the ‘woke’

Seven stores doesn’t seem like a big deal.

At a local grocery store (not Walmart) the entry and exit doors have been replaced with only one door. A clerk explained that shop-lifting was so bad, it was easier for security to monitor.

Walmart has two stores in the Aiken, SC area and one is my fav. I rarely have to go to another store like Target. WMT, buy and large, usually has everything I need.

Aiken has a population of about 32K and mild winters. It is noted for the Savanna River Site for nuclear production and steeple chase play.

Walmart made the decision to switch to cheap mostly made Chinese goods, what 30 years ago? Sam’s concept was dropped.

Someone HAD to know in their company the switch would lose manufacturing jobs and eventually cause a drop on buying power from average Americans. That loss of stores as the country lost high buying power would be inevitable.

IMHO I think they said “hell with it…we will have made our fortunes then so who cares?”.

Progs HATE Walmart with a burning passion. NOW. They will complain about the “food deserts” because Walmart is closing in “underserved communities of color.”
