Walmart Set to Close All Stores in Portland amid Record-Breaking Retail Theft
There go those $15.00 an hour jobs.
PORTLAND, OR — Starbucks plans to permanently close 16 stores by the end of July, including two in Portland, amid concerns over safety.
| quote |
Along with the Portland closings, six stores will close in both Seattle and the Los Angeles metro area. Two will close in Portland, Oregon, and one will shutter in both Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., the Wall Street Journal reported.
Starbucks told The Seattle Times on Monday that the decisions to close the stores were based on the number of crime complaints lodged at each store, as well as whether how successful they were at lowering those rates. Crime complaints include drug use, stealing and attacks. |

Portland store shuts down, posts blistering note on front door slamming rampant crime: 'City is in peril.
| quote |
The message posted to the front store noted that the shop is closing down due to the "unrelenting criminal behavior," "coupled with escalating safety issues for our employees." |

Nike abruptly closed a key Portland store and reportedly wants to reopen with off-duty police officers that can arrest shoplifters
Good luck with that. The Portland Police force is woefully understaffed with all officers working overtime as it is.
Other gloomy examples of Dumbocratic run governance.

The real reason Walmarts are closing, the usual "brown" suspects...

It's kinda of Walmart's own fault, go woke, go broke, as they say.
Maybe they just didn't kiss enough brown butt, or give them enough "free stuff", to appease the "brown gods" and stop this from happening.

Elections have consequences.
Another "trickle down" effect.
I have zero sympathy.
