PORTLAND, Ore. — Nike says it is permanently closing its store on Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard while saying it remains committed to “supporting and uplifting Portland’s North and Northeast community.”
In a statement, it said it is reimaging its retail space and is considering future locations “as part of this community’s long term revitalization plan.”
Nike had closed the store while it looked for ways to improve safety for its employees and customers. It had sent a letter to the city requesting that off-duty police officers work at the store.
In its statement Friday, Nike did not mention that.

Is there an MLK St, Rd etc anywhere that isn’t crime ridden? I’ve never seen one and I’ve seen quite a few.

Only way Nike can protect employees and customers is to go strictly online.

Yep. They wanted Woke. Woke sez shoplifting is all good.
That’s an old meme. And yet it’s still true today.

But that puts the delivery drivers in harm’s way.

Their contribution to the race problem is being returned to them. Hold onto your hats Nike, the general rule is 10 fold.

I have ZERO sympathy for companies like Nike that have been cheerleading for BLM, Defund the Police and other Leftist pipedreams while failing to defend capitalism. Let them reap the whirlwind (and then some).

Even if all stores in the inner city were “free stores,” the street savages would still break in and strip them bare.

Those people have been known to kill someone just to steal their Nike shoes. Checkout a world IQ map when you get the chance.

This probably has something to do with their customer base. At the Nike outlet store near my house, 90% of their shoppers appear to be AA teenagers.

This applies as well to JFK St/Rd most everywhere.
These have to be "conincidences", right? Big "coincidences" ... everywhere! Ha!
