“MLK Community Store”
It is dangerous enough when they name streets and boulevards after the guy.
;-)
The first question I thought of was, why are they even interested in keeping the store open?
Is Nike really stupid and deluded enough to believe that the people in charge of Portland are going to increase the police presence anywhere? That’s racist and fascist.
How’s that Defund the Police working out for you Nike?
Maybe they should sell just work boots.
LOFL at Phil Knight, 85-year-old douchelord. *spit*
“...the community surrounding our MLK Community Store.”
Yep. Sure. Dumbest place to build. At least in ‘The People’s Republic of Madistan,’ long known for it’s COMPASSION and Communist ties, puts the COURTHOUSE and the JAIL on their MLK Drive. *SNORT*
Also read elsewhere that Nike is sitting on BILLIONS of dollars in merchandise they need to move before it’s too late.
Too bad, so sad. I’ve never purchased a Nike product (not even second-hand) and have never bought anything with their logo on it for my kids, and they knew why. Stupid SHOULD hurt.
Oregon proposed $1000 a month, no questions asked, to the poor and homeless. Nike just wants to be in place to sell a pair of shoes with a $1000 price tag.

Go woke, go broke!
Herndon said he worries the ongoing issues with theft at the Nike Community Store could jeopardize its future.
“Criminals do not care about history,” he said.
Sorry, can’t hear you. WHAT kind of protection?
LOL, at war with their “customers”
Nike has a problem. They could make their store into the equivalent of a ghetto bodega, with all the valuable goods behind bulletproof glass. But then, the non-criminals who would like to buy shoes will be offended that they are not allowed to try on shoes before they buy them, and will go to another store.
I think the only solution is to lock customers into the store while they are trying on shoes and only let them out (through an airlock-type arrangement) once they have paid for the merchandise.
Nike just wanting to APPEAR they are interested in reopening these RISKY stores.
No real interest at all.
According to KGW8, Nike proposed two options. The company was open to creating an “intergovernmental agreement” with the city of Portland to directly fund full-time police officers who would be selected to police the store. A second option would be to pay off-duty Portland Police Bureau officers as contracted security.
......................
The letter stated the company was “at a critical juncture” and “it is critical that one of these two models be made effective prior to May 1, 2023.”
So far no agreement.
“...BEGS Portland mayor for police protection to reopen shuttered community store plagued with retail theft..”
Now THAT’S choice! Promote discord and destruction, THEN get the taxpayer to pick up the tab-so you can continue to do business!
