When those stores close permanently there will be caterwauling about corporate systemic racism causing food and shopping deserts.
I’m trying to figure out how they all decide which businesses are going to be the sacrificial lambs.
My town has both a Shop-Rite and Wal-Mart which attract a lot of shoppers from Newark NJ; the cops are there plenty, and one easily sees why Newark is a “food desert”.
Companies want to reap the public assistance money from the gibsmedats but they don’t want the risks.
