Walmart is opening two new “Walmart Health” centers in Chicago neighborhoods marred earlier this year by rioting and unrest triggered by police brutality as part of a “renewed commitment to a city that has been through a lot,” the giant retailer said Friday.

The health centers, which feature an array of primary medical services as part of a new model being replicated across the country, are located on Chicago’s under-served neighborhoods on the city’s South and West sides.

“(Friday), we opened two new Walmart Health locations, adjacent to two newly-remodeled Walmart Supercenters, in the Chicago neighborhoods of Chatham and Austin,” Walmart vice president of community engagement and support Keith Wyche said Friday in a blogpost on Walmart’s website. “These spaces stand as a renewed commitment to a city that has been through a lot this year – and has proven time and again that it can emerge from any challenge with renewed ambitions. It’s an attitude we’re trying to emulate.”

They’ll have a virtual monopoly...until they get burned down or otherwise trashed because someone in Atlanta decided to attack a cop.

Do a youtube search on Walmart fights. Almost as good as McDonalds fights.

That is why Amazon has a decided advantage against Walmart in the retail wars. Rioters cannot get at Amazon’s inventory. They have no warehouses in ghetto areas nor do they have to put up with shoplifting from its residents.
