The filthy crime-ridden, drug-infested, liberal hellhole of Portland, Oregon will no longer have any Walmart stores.
At the end of March, all Walmart stores within Portland’s city limits will officially close.
In a statement, Walmart explained, “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 hub of ANTIFA and BLM terrorism over the last several years.
Although Walmart didn’t mention the rampant looting, constant vandalism, and serious homelessness and drug abuse problems in their statement, one would imagine they were a factor in the decision.
From Fox 12 News:
The last two Walmart stores within Portland’s city limits will close in late March, the company announced.
The locations, at 1123 North Hayden Meadows Drive and at 4200 Southeast 82nd Avenue at the Eastport Plaza, will both close on Friday, March 24. Walmart says they are closing the stores because they were not meeting financial expectations.
“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, customer needs, and the proximity of other nearby stores when making these difficult decisions. After we decide to move forward, our focus is on our associates and their transition, which is the case here,” a spokesperson with Walmart said.
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.
