According to KPTV, the decision behind closing their location is due to poor performance and financial reasons.
“We have nearly 5,000 stores across the U.S. and unfortunately some do not meet our financial expectations,” Walmart said in its announcement. “While our underlying business is strong, these specific stores haven’t performed as well as we hoped.”
The two remaining locations that Walmart will be shuttering are at Hayden Meadows, and East Part Plaza with 580 employees currently employed at the two locations. Both locations will be closing on March 24th.
Seattle has seen stores closing for years now. Retail theft is just endemic any more.
Way to go antifa and blm. Also way to go to all the local politicians who cheer on destructive behavior. I’ve lived in small communities and in some cases Wal-Mart is one of the best jobs you can get. Portland is much bigger of course but still you are actively reducing the number of jobs when you didn’t have to. I know they don’t care about the average person who works and takes care of their family
Pfft.
Like Antifa even believe in cause and effect. Have you seen the rest of what they believe in? They'd have to throw all of it out if they wanted to get back in touch with cause-and-effect...
I know. Just hate to see when businesses leave because it sucks for the decent people.
I’ve been saying that for years. But they seem to enjoy living in the good old USA
