Walmart plans to close half of its stores in Chicago. This is a reversal of the retail giant\u2019s high-profile commitment in 2020 to expand in the city as part of its corporate racial justice initiative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmart recently announced that it will close four poor-performing stores out of the eight it operates in Chicago. Three of the locations are located in Chicago\u2019s South and West Side neighborhoods, which are predominantly minority and have long struggled with grocery and retail access. One of the stores is in Chicago\u2019s North Side, which is predominantly White and more affluent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement comes after Walmart highlighted its efforts in Chicago as a \u201ccritical part\u201d of its broader $100 million pledge to advancing racial equity in 2020. (CNN)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmart said the closings are due to a lack of profits, theft and security issues. (CHICAGO (WLS) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmart is not the United States government. They can\u2019t keep pumping money into a store or city that is losing millions of dollars every year. Walmart is a business that has become the largest company in the world by making a profit. Communities who steal more from their Walmart or any store, than they pay for at the register can most likely expect to see their store closed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
