The city of Portland will no longer have any more Walmart stores.
At the end of March, all Walmart stores within Portland’s city limits will officially close.
In statement Walmart revealed “The decision to close these stores was made after a careful review of their overall performance. We consider many factors, including current and projected financial performance, location, population and customer needs.”
Portland has been the center of ANTIFA and BLM terrorism over the last several years.
People who live near the stores that are closing say the closure is going to have a big impact on them and low-income shoppers.
“Safeway is the go-to-store if I have to but that’s three times the price I would spend here,” Amanda Pahl said. “What are we going to do? You got to go further, then you have to spend gas money. Might as well pay for it at Safeway at this point.”
According to a Walmart spokesperson, pharmacy staff will work with customers to transfer their prescriptions to other locations before that date.

Inventory shrinkage, security.
And assaults to customers and staff.
There was a time when I drove from Olympia Washington to Portland for church.
I never thought Portland would become like this.
Get what you vote for.
Civilization is fragile—enough creeps in an area and it is gone...
...included under security.
Well, the Dems running Portland have shown they put the ANTIFA goons before their citizens. it couldn’t happen to a nicer city.
Walmart cut its teeth by staying OUT of urban and even suburban areas (that also kept them under the radar of the Leftists, while they greatly expanded). Going back to that model might not be a bad idea.
There is a universal moral solvent. It exists entirely within those who support Democrats and their sewer party. It ruins EVERYTHING it touches. They are the enemy and hopefully will be soon treated as such. For whatever it takes.
“Yeah! We won. Power to the people. Next we’ll shut down the grid. Then the public water works. Then we will achieved our greatest liberal socialist goals. Equality for everybody. This will be great.” Said no sane person ever.
Portland, most ahtiest city, 80% democrat.
The people of Portland continue to destroy a once beautiful city.
They didn’t just vote for this, they went out and marched for it.
Too bad they didn’t appreciate what they had. Wal Mart has no obligation to keep a losing store open because people are sad.
Embrace the suck, Portland. You voted for it.
“I never thought Portland would become like this.”
Democrats. They destroy everything with which they come in contact. A cancer is less lethal.
“Civilization is fragile—enough creeps in an area and it is gone...”
That’s a fact.
Civilization is a very thin and fragile crust atop a roiling cauldron of barbarism and savagery. It doesn’t take all that much to pierce that crust.
Reaping the whirlwind. They just found out it was a lot easier to give their neighborhood up than it will be to get it back.
Well..they havent got the snow up that way like they have for the run off for Sacratomato and LA.
So I cant say it would be fun to watch that sty get flushed out.
cool, this is FREE enterprise at work. City Council must be glad, giddy in fact.
