Wal-Mart is claiming it is due to under preforming stores, lessening its real estate portfolio, and a few other ‘strange’ reasons.
While I’m no fan of Independent retailer stealing places like Wal-Mart (and other corporate owned-big box stores) their business should be booming. Others say delivery companies like ‘Instacart’, and ‘Shipt’, are giving them a run for their money. Only idiots would use either of these (they jack up the price on each and every store item) over Wal-Mart delivery, who only charges for the delivery.
On the one hand, I say that the closings could not happen to a nicer corporation (sarcasm). Yet, on the other hand, I want to know why – now? Especially during bank closing, and fluctuating stock markets. What does Wal-Mart know that we do not?
