I loved when that happened. Racially sensitive Target was forced to decide between cold hard cash or serving the affluent neighborhoods in the north side.

The local Wal-Mart stores will be the places where people will report to receive the Mark of the Beast.

By blaming it on something else, the company could dampen employee and union enthusiasm for higher wages without ruining employee relations and possibly even opening themselves up to lawsuits.

I wonder if the issue in these stores was much bigger than plumbing and would expose the stores to lawsuits if revealed. Thus, the plumbing cover story. This is a real head-scratcher. If it is just the plumbing, why all the secrecy? And if it's something more, any cover-up is bound to fail. There are too many people involved (managers, etc.).

Ah, yes. The old Starbucks Phase II stunt!
The difference is, Starbucks is a huge liberal, nutjob haven that supports every left-wing idiot idea that pops into their collective brain pan (not panS, because Democrats and Liberals are the Borg - they have only ONE thought between them ALL).
Whereas, Wal-Mart, that soul-sucking, Koch Brothers-loving, right-wing, destroy all it touches, FORCES PEOPLE TO WORK THERE FOR PALTRY WAGES corporation is doing this OBVIOUSLY because they are EVIL!

Walton Family Sells Walmart Shares
http://247wallst.com/retail/2015/04/12/walton-family-does-not-want-to-own-wal-mart/
Last Friday the Walton family, heirs of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT) founder Sam Walton, announced that the family business, Walton Enterprises LLC, would would distribute about 6% of its holdings to a newly created Walton Family Holdings Trust. The Walton familys stake in Wal-Mart has risen to about 50% as a result of share buyback programs, and the family is satisfied to control the companys biggest stake without actually owning enough stock to give them actual control.
In the press statement Walton Enterprises said:
Given the prospect that Walmart may continue to buy back shares, the Walton family has informed Walmart that it currently expects to sell Walmart shares from time to time in order to help offset possible further increases in its ownership percentage and to help fund charitable contributions. The family believes that this is consistent with an appropriate balance of family and non-family ownership that supports the goals of all Walmart shareholders and long term business success.

There are Walmarts in worse parts of the area than the one they closed, FWIW.

I heard a story out of DFW that the Walmart there was experiencing a LOT of employee theft.
One woman in customer service was ripping them off of 8K per day in fraudulent returns.

Why does everything have to be a conspiracy these days? Who paid you to say that? Was it some UN agency? Was it the Bilderberg Group? Or perhaps you're a member of the Illuminati.
(Just kidding, of course.)

I remember a few years back at a Wal-mart store in Texas,the meat cutters voted in the Union. Wal-Mart closed the store.

Not to mention leaving a gaping hole in local revenue.
This allows all those mom and pop shops that all the liberal nuts love to SEE, but never actually FREQUENT to return and flurish!
All the Liberal nuts should be THANKING WAL-MART for opening up these opportunities to those future entrepreneurs!

Interesting.
Up here in the midwest they just moved all the meat processing off site and only sell packaged in the store.

When a friend of mine opened a martial arts studio, he was required to add a wheelchair ramp out front and convert the bathroom to handicap friendly, for, you know, all those wheelchair-bound martial artists.

Why didn't you just put one fountain in which met the handicap standard?

When I say a few years back I mean about 10 years ago this happened. I believe Wal-Mart got rid of in store meat cutters and most of the beef,pork, & chicken comes from a processing plant in Arkansas. Don't buy that pillow pack ground beef and roasts.

The problem is that such a system-wide measure has attracted undue attention.
One or two plus a couple of decoy stores in a region would work over time, but this might not.

Cloosing stores simultaneously, no warning to employees, shutdown at each store timed exactly the same———yup, nothing fishy about this at all.
What, are they trying to hide an anthrax attack or some other weird occurance?
addendum— the Midland, Tx store opened around 1993-94. The southside store dates from about 2000.
