My speculation? Obama’s obsession to virulent Mussolini on White America in his final 14 months in office requires going big before he goes home- watch for massive inflow of refugees being trained, planed and bussed into these areas and these “closed” stores being used to supply their needs
Sam Walmart would be rolling over to see his family business being used to collaborate in the planned invasion of America by 3rd world illiterates, to alter the demographics of selected voting districts before the 2016 elections
probably a deal made in exchange for Obama’s regime calling off the labor unions.......
for a while
and this conspiracy theory will either be proven or disproven within the next few months
about 6 months to be exact, when the “plumbing repairs” have been made
