The shadow of Walmart’s logo and name hung above the Chatham Supercenter location on Sunday, its last day of operation, as dozens of shoppers streamed in to shop among increasingly empty shelves.
Less than a week ago, the company announced it would close its store at 8431 S. Stewart Ave. along with others in Little Village, Kenwood and Lakeview, saying they were “losing tens of millions” annually and that losses had doubled in the last five years.
The company also noted the $70 million it spent in recent years creating healthcare facilities at its city stores and the Walmart Academy training center, which were also set to close.
Myesha McGarner, a 30-year-old South Shore resident and regular shopper at the Chatham location, said she hadn’t realized it was closing until she entered to find empty shelves and a “ghostly” atmosphere.
She called the company’s explanation a “cop out” and “infuriating,” and said she thought the closures had more to do with the area’s history of disinvestment.

That's an excellent idea. They can't even claim its "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRACISSSSSSSSSS!!!!" because hey, anybody can join the club. You just have to be in the club and present your club membership card to enter the store. What's that? You want to join the club and get your unique club membership card which will be scanned in order for you to gain entry? Then show us government issued photo ID and a major credit card.
OOH! OOH! I KNOW! PICK ME! PICK ME!!!!
Cuz they be RRRRRRRRRRRRRAACISSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
That's the answer to everything - didn't you know?
Free food. Why didn’t someone think of that sooner.
You don’t expect the wokerati to admit error, or change their opinions in the face of utter failure? The electrical grid and the military are on their way to disaster, but hey, omelet, eggs.
Whoot!
Only free food? Not good enough! They’ll need free TVs,designer clothes, jewelry, electronics(the good kind), and all of the other pilferable items that can only be found at walmart, target or a mall. Free food? How myopic is THAT?
Get rid of self checkouts may have helped stop some of the theft.
So now South Chicago residents need to drive to another store to steel shxt. Bummer.
Pretty much sums up the customers there!
Some seem smart enough to have them us their left hand. Perhaps all stores and restaurants should only require a left hand. The would eliminate any worry about the mark.
LOL…the Walmart closed precisely because so many in the community were helping themselves to “free food” at the store. They continue getting “free food,” except now they have no fear of getting caught.
Invest in companies making heavy steel bars and barriers to enter and leave stores. You’ll have to go through an “airlock” double entry to get in or out. On the way out, you will be strip searched.
Road trips to be happening soon
If only those shoppers had gotten their $5 million reparations checks and an annual guaranteed income of $97,000, they would have paid for all the goods in their shopping carts.
I do believe that you have cracked the code!☹️
Well, one of them is scanning their left-hand palm print.
Certainly not the Mark of the Beast, of course, but shows the palm print scanner will work on either. A foot print would probably work, too. They’re just about as unique? (I think)
Regardless, conditioning, if even by accident. Just like the Covid-19(84) mandates which IMHO were not by accident.
All stores will be run by gangs loyal to the DNC.
This is fascism on display.
You would think that Club stores that require membership cards to enter along with armed security roaming their parking lots - would serve to curve theft. On the other hand, thieves can be innovative in overcoming obstacles to their free stuff.
What we're seeing is that businesses do not want the hassle and overhead needed to mitigate the high occurrence of theft in certain cities. They prefer to move to less thug infested locations.
She was told the store closed due to racism and that is what she believes. These are cultists, not free-thinking citizens. The perfect inhabitants of fascist cities.
There is a reason why YOU PEOPLE can have nice things.
