>>>8 in Illinois alone. Underperforming = repeatedly looted.<<<<

I’m surprised about the Plainfield one. That is as far away from the ghetto as you can get. However 3 of the 4 in Chicago are in especially high crime areas. It’s funny how bad Walmart wanted to get into Chicago and Mayor Daley was fighting them. Now that Walmart got in, they want nothing to do with the City of Chicago.

The one in Katy has to compete with several HEB’s and Kroger’s.

Seems like a bad strategy.

No.

The consumers do not magically disappear because you closed your store.

Who said they did?

If the “sacrificial” stores are not kept open I would assume the issue just spreads to the next nearest stores?

Nope.

Because they are in a different area that does not put up with theft.

Your "fainting goat" strategy is rejected.

I would guess criminals are stupid and lazy. If they’re smart they don’t do grab n’go type crimes....unless very high and untraceable goods.

Oh man, you beat me to it, I was gonna say that! LOL

Seriously, that doesn't surprise me, but I figured there would also be some in Commiefornia that would also get closed down. The one in Indiana surprises me though, South Bend is a busy city. I wonder what's happened up there to make that closing necessary.

I'm familiar with the areas that the 4 in Chicago are closing.

NOT SURPRISED.

Some of the stores are “concept test” stores or neighborhood market stores, or even e-commerce fulfillment centers. Report didn’t say if the stores were supercenters, or smaller Walmart stores. Or how many of each. From headline one might think that the big stores are closing.

Meanwhile other ghettos are turning away Wal-Mart because it would end the area’s food desert, and gosh that would put race-baiters out of business.

I don’t know if they still do, but part of my job as a comp case manager has always involved in-state travel-and one of the things I liked about that was shopping the Walmart in small towns I went to before the big boxes there-they were certainly lower margin, lots of groceries, etc-I miss those stores-most of them are now big box and not the same...

What the “customers” aren’t stealing, the staff is.

Probably a factor-here in this rural area there is a Dollar General at every FM intersection with the state highway...

Only one in Florida and it’s one of those Walmart convenience stores.

Headline says “Here’s the list” yet you excerpted that list out of your posting. Why?

BI thanks you for the traffic.

22 ... out of 4,630. I’m sure they’ll be fine without those locations.
