Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm confused.. Thread title says "all" Walmarts, story talks about 2 stores....  https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/145716/Screenshot_20230302_005637_Maps-2730646.jpg That is about a 90 mile stretch of I-5. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 4 million for falsely accusing someone of shoplifting. That's crazy Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Untenable shoplifting/theft issues? Perhaps this 2022 lawsuit judgement against a Portland area Walmart is related? 4.4 million dollar payout https://theportlandmedium.com/local-news/walmart-ordered-to-pay-black-man-millions-for-theft-allegations/ I avoid Portland as much as possible. As a normal person your greatest risk is getting jacked by the legal system. My worst fear is that someday I would have to defend myself or my wife in Portland. I would be in prison no matter the situation. And if I am attacked, the perp would most definitely walk. We are moving out of state this year. Even living in a suburb the risks from this double standard police/legal situation is intolerable. Thank God our adult kids moved their families out already. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This is the start of retails retreat from high crime areas. Once losses hit a certain percentage at a city store Walmart, CVS, Target, etc,etc will close those "under performing" stores. Then as expected the next group of stores further out will start to "under perform" and will be closed. Eventually you will shop like Service Merchandise or online. The Service Merchandise model would work well now that everyone has a shopping app device in their pocket. You can usually tell how bad a neighborhood is by the number of products a Walmart has under lock. If they have a bunch of $5 items in a locked glass case... yup. Service Merchandise had the whole store completely locked up from the start. Nothing was walking out the door without payment. Eta: Maybe it was a later adaptation to put everything behind glass. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What is the real reason for the closings? Rarely go into Portland. I was in a Home Depot near PDX a few weeks ago. They had a full time armed security guard that was fully kitted out. Parking lot was littered with homeless. I would think that theft is a huge reason they are closing up. That and vandalism. |

Quote HistoryI worked for a couple months in a building a block from that bus station. The armed guard refused to stay after 5pm because it was too dangerous. He would walk with us to the parking lot and asked us to wait until he chained the gate before we all left at the same time. I can’t imagine any store - even Walmart - staying open near there. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yep. Hayden Island is on the north edge of Portland, just before crossing the Columbia River into Washington. Mostly industrial area with a lot of freight terminals, semi truck service and parts shops, truck stop, etc. Massive homeless camps especially around the I-5 ramps. Across I-5 is the Expo Center where the gun shows are held. Up the freeway a half mile is the Delta Park malls and restaurants. The Lowes there is where a parking lot security guard shot and killed a homeless guy over nothing. Everyone knows the homeless are a protected class in Portland. He was an idiot confronting him and even more retarded shooting him in his car. But that is the NICER part of the area! I imagine theft, poop around the building, trashed restrooms, scaring off normal customers. Who in their right mind would shop there? I drove truck around the industrial areas and there are some really really bad homeless areas. Hayden is one. Just for reference, Martin Luther King Blvd runs through east side downtown up to where it intersects I-5 at Harden Island. Whole area has epic homeless camps with tents, tarps, burned out cars, decrepit RVs, campfires,etc. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: My dad live on Hayden island until last year. The Walmart he went to was in delta Park(I think). Complete freak show. I used to work at fisherman's marine and supply in high school the place has gone seriously down hill it's hard to comprehend.

We all know what the problem is. If I were illiterate, poor, had no job skills, inherently violent, racist, without hope, easily mislead, unable to use logic and had no self control I'd be inclined to lead a feral lifestyle as well. WM has no choice. They're no different that the average citizen "crossing the street" rather than risk an interaction with a violent criminal.

Will be curious to see if the city council or some kind of gov entity gets involved.
This is the result when that happens...  Yes, that's two Walmart locations two miles apart. Walmart wanted to move to the upper location in Sterling Heights, but the city of Warren begged/pleaded/demanded that Walmart keep the old location open, so they did. Guess Warren needed the sales tax revenue. |

Walmarts rarely close. Talked to a manager about one in a suburb that was in/near an indoor mall that is also now closed. He mentioned it got to the point local folks were reducing inventory/claiming reparations by throwing lawn mowers over the fence after hours in the garden section.

Feels like the same thing that happened to K-mart, that slow decline. Amazon has really changed the game for retail. I never thought we could shop the way we do now. In my area 2 day delivery and in most cases same day or following morning. $7 senior prime membership. It’s no surprise.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are these actually central Portland or way far out from downtown? Reason I ask is that I've been up and down the West Coast traveling and have never seen a Walmart in the major cities. They're always on the outskirts and never in the downtown areas. Same deal with shops like Bass Pro and Cabelas. Always way out in the sticks. TN bass pro shops are mainly in town. Memphis, Nashville. There’s one in Kodak TN that is more rural if not for the interstate and giant exit next to it. |
