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.
As usual the Portland subreddit is coping by all claiming they shop elsewhere so it doesn't affect them...the irony of the sheltered.
The real fun one though is the post about removing the mask requirement in Oregon, I saw some hilarious comments about how they are 'afraid to go outside' and they see this as a 'death sentence.'
Fun to watch the cope.
What they don't understand is that it's not like the serial looters are just going to give up. They're going to drive out to these people's safe "elsewhere" and sink those stores as well.
They'll need extra strength copium when other companies start following suit now that Walmart is establishing a precedent.
It's those greedy corporations taking profit again.
Well, pack it up, boys. It was a long, hard road but we've finally done it. We've found the ultimate reddit social justice nutter thanks to this.
These people are positive that they'll win the civil war.
These are the same brainlets who preach "ACAB" until they get robbed or raped themselves, and in some absurd cases even after that happens!
