Why is everyone always talking about Marshall?!

I live in East Texas and our WalMart closed due to "plumbing" problems. All employees are fired. closed for at least 6 months.
Come to find out, several more closed across America due to "plumbing" problems and all employees fired.
Googled closed Walmart and got several different theories. One says they need to close some to pay for the huge raise they gave the rest of the workers. One says it's for holding illegals crossing the border. Another says it for American that don't want Obama's 3rd term.
Second observation today,.....A military jet fuel truck came into my small East Texas town today and ended up out at the airport. We have no jets,.....yet. The next open Walmart says they have plumbing problems, but as of yet it's still open.If they close it, we have no place to get food for this many people unless the Brookshire Brothers doubles in size.
This just came about today, so that's all I have as thin as it is, but I know the preppers in my church are getting nervous.
Does anybody out there know anything I need to know?
Yes, rail runs through downtown and the store is literally on highway 59 and highway 190 at the intersection. Highway 59 was literally called the “NAFTA” highway. I believe it has since been moved to highway 69.
“Plumbing as an excuse for avoiding 60 days notice however is NOT good if that is really the case.”
The thing is, they’re paying all of the employees 60 days of wages (or giving them the choice to relocate to another store). So they didn’t get out of anything.
They’re giving away all of the perishable goods to local food banks. Massive money loss there.
None of this makes sense.
I would think FEMA camp would.
Hi Mr President (waves)
Unless they really did have a plumbing problem that would get the store condemned.
Candy for me!
I could buy that if it were more stores. This June "they" will be forced down our throat, so to speak, and I'm sure there will be such legislation enacted soon after. You will know it when a rubber machine and a Kotex machine are in the same bathroom.
“Unless they really did have a plumbing problem that would get the store condemned.”
Yes it would. But a news station did an investigation and there haven’t been any problems. The local governments are just as baffled as we are.
Why is everyone always talking about Marshall?!
How would the local government know if Walmart never told them about it?
out of curiosity, what is the nearest military base? (active or abandoned)
Well, for them to be condemned, I would assume that it would be the local governments that would do the condemning...
I agree the plumbing thing just won’t hunt. It could be that they avoid the ongoing publicity of announcing a store closing and going through the usual 60 or so days of shutdown. A plumbing problem they just shut down and worry about moving out the inventory etc later. Its over and hopefully people forget about it. Store closings are bad for stock prices.
Were they condemned by the government? I figured they were trying to avoid that fate.
The Midland store was one of the top five Walmarts in the country.
So, if they’re going to close stores, why close one of their most profitable?
Reconquista?
You think?
There has to be more than just six stores in the southern part of the US.
You are right about the construction. They can get those stores up very quickly. It’s essentially a concrete tilt-up.
They built our Walmart in less than 6 months from excavation to building to open for business.
The latest Walmart Neighborhood Market (smaller size, groceries and pharmacy only, no other stuff), went from bulldozer to open in less than 4 months.
They've moved entire sections of store around in mere days to accommodate new floor plans. The plumbing is likely peripheral, at the front and back of the stores, and maybe on the sides. I doubt there would be more than a few pipes under the main floor, all their sprinklers for veggies are in units coming down from the ceiling. There's no way a drainage issue would take six months to deal with. It certainly wasn't a supply issue, or the employees and customers would have noticed that immediately.
When they opened the newest Walmart to me, they stocked the non-perishables about a week before, with the perishables coming in within two days of opening. No way this is plumbing. It may certainly be any number of things, but it's not plumbing.
LOL!!
Just to feed into the conspiracy crap a little more - the construction of these stores span a full decade and used different contractors.
The Midland store was one of the top (five or ten) Walmarts in the NATION. That’s a major money maker.
There were DHS cars seen (and filmed) at the store in Oklahoma.
They were delivering to all of the stores just the night before they were shut down.
None of the stores have ever reported plumbing problems or been cited for code violations. None of the stores have requested permits to do major repairs.
An electrician who’s contracted with Walmart before said this:
“I’m an electrician and I used to work for a company that did repairs at Walmart’s, they make the contractors jump through hoops so they do not have to shut down or cause any inconvenience.”
“If it really was a plumbing issue, they would build completely new restrooms first then repair any issue afterwards. Also, knowing Walmart’s timelines, there is no way in hell any contractors would have 6 months to complete any repair project.”
One article I read indicated it was due to clogs and water leakage problems.
