The unspoken truth: these stores are closing due to rampant shoplifting and retail theft. In Cook County, Illinois, the woke George Soros funded prosecutor, Kinberly M. Foxx, refuses to charge and prosecute shoplifters as felons.

That’s going to put a lot of BLM rioters and looters out of jobs.

CEO Doug McMillon did say in December on CNBC that retail theft which he said was at record levels will lead to either ‘higher prices’ or ‘stores closing’.

A general statement not singling out any stores.

Brought to you by the Democrat Party and their soft-on-crime policies.

A lot of the times the thieves get a job there and on truck day, they steal the merchandise before it ever gets scanned in.

“Some suburban Chicago criminals will soon have one less option nearby to steal groceries and other goods: Walmart.”

Fixed!

I don't know anywhere that plain shoplifting is a felony.

Urban America is becoming devoid of decent, rational, productive citizens. Only a fool would voluntarily live, start or invest in a business in such Democrat run horrible places.

Yep.....serves low-income and a lot of people who like to cause trouble, steal and loot. They end up creating an urban desert about which they get complaints of ‘racism’ because they have to shop at high-markup quick stop stores.

The Plainfield IL store is just south of Naperville, and in very close proximity to a Target, a Meijer, Costco, and several smaller boutique and grocery stores in an area where the overwhelming majority of the local populace can easily afford to shop those stores.

In fact, that location recently held a “Grand Re-opening” to celebrate a major renovation intended to give it a more upscale feel. It looks like they were trying to punch above their weight and just couldnt land enough blows.

There are also at least 5 other Walmart locations within 10 miles of that store.

Closure of one in the West Side of Milwaukee was announced at the same time. It is very near to a low income housing complex. Walmart gave the same statement about profitability. Our local TV ‘news’ hit all the popular notes about food deserts and dis-whatevering the poor, but reported nothing about the theft that impacts the profits.

The unspoken truth:

Come on now you know it is systemic racism that is causing this. When the lights go out hungry people steal TVs and you know it.
