Good theory but there are no work permits scheduled for any of these stores that we know of. Looks like if it were truly plumbing problems, all permits and contractors would already be lined up jack hammering the floor. There is just a couple of cops blocking the doors. No workers. I think the pharmacy and the vision center is still open till Friday, but you have to get past the cops.
Although it is odd, it is possible that this was a planned attack on Wal-Mart. Hit the stores simultaneously and hit their plumbing, so they are forced to close.
Hopefully somebody will keep us apprised.
“There is just a couple of cops blocking the doors.”
In that case, it’s very possible they’re treating this as a crime scene before proceeding with repairs. Not sure why cops would be there otherwise simply for the temporary closing of a private business. Businesses close abruptly here all the time and no cops stationed at the doors.
