What mass openings?

More than 5800 stores opened in 2023. Is 5500 is "mass closings" then 5800 would be "mass opening".

/---/ We need more info. Are some of those new openings, or relocations of closed stores? In other words, a store closes in Los Angeles and reopens in Texas.
It would be nice to have a link to the story.

Are those store openings in Dem / Socialist controlled Hell holes where the retailers are leaving because of crime and drug problems?

Are those store openings in Dem / Socialist controlled Hell holes where the retailers are leaving because of crime and drug problems?

Is Jonesboro AR a Dem / Socialist controlled Hell hole

Is Joplin MO a Dem / Socialist controlled Hell hole

Is Lubbock TX a Dem / Socialist controlled Hell hole

Is Fort Myers FL a Dem / Socialist controlled Hell hole

Is Milo ME a Dem / Socialist controlled Hell hole

Is High Point NC a Dem / Socialist controlled Hell hole

It's a pattern that no amount of Dem / Socialist sidestepping can deny. Leftist policies that promote crime, decay and make criminals a protected class ruin cities.

It's just a fact that retail stores can't survive when they are subjected to rampant theft, drug addicts on the streets and shoplifters given a free hand to steal.

As many major retailers declare bankruptcy or close locations due to increasing crime, closures reached a post-pandemic high under Biden.

What does economic growth look like? New jobs, businesses expanding, growth of the middle class?

For the Democratic Party, economic growth is apparently the mass closure of retail stores throughout the country.

Stores such as Walgreens point the finger at rising theft rates for their high closure rates,noting that crime has been having major negative ramifications on locations’ profitability.

This has nothing to do with Biden, this is happening everywhere in the first world. People are buying online. Simple as.

Shows how fucking dishonest people are.

Target to shutter 9 stores in Democrat-run cities on account of unrelenting crime | Blaze Media

Target is pulling up stakes on select stores in crime-ridden, Democratic cities, joining the host of other retailers looking for greener pastures. Evidently the company's efforts to lock aisles of products behind security glass wasn't a winning solution. The company is shuttering nine stores...

Oddly, retailers are making it clear that allowances for crimes such as shoplifting are driving them out of Dem / Socialist Hell holes.

You did not answer the question. are those cites I listed Dem / Socialist controlled Hell holes.

A simple yes or no will do.

You're sidestepping and waffling. Why are retailers fleeing Dem / Socialist Hell holes?

 

[Libby von H]

Bed Bath and Beyond was the largest closure in 2023
Had little to do with urban crime rates

How can you possibly know that?? You can't.

why would they carry a piece of shit pillow that my dog refused to sleep on?

Your dog can't sleep because his owner is such an assshole, has nothing to do with the pillow

 

[Harpy Eagle]

You're sidestepping and waffling. Why are retailers fleeing Dem / Socialist Hell holes?

You still refuse to answer. But we all know why.

Why are retailers fleeing Repub/ Facsist Hell holes?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

How can you possibly know that?? You can't.

maybe because they have been going bankrupt for damn near a decade?

Your dog can't sleep because his owner is such an assshole, has nothing to do with the pillow

My dog does not mind me being an asshole to people like you. I am sure she would bite you if you came to close, she hate the smell of partisan sheep

Was there a point you were trying to make?

Was there a point you were trying to make?

That you're wrong.

Let's recap this conversation to make it simple.

I said that it has nothing to do with Biden, it's all about online shopping.

You seem to imply that people were buying online because stores were closing because in democratic places shoplifting is such a problem they're closing stores. Rather than humans just wanting to be lazy and buying online.

I proved that in Wyoming they spend MORE online than people in California. Meaning your argument is wrong.

A complete misrepresentation.

I made no comment about any shopping habits connected to Biden.

I wrote nothing about people’s online buying habits.

I made the point that retailers were leaving Dem / Socialist controlled Hell holes due primarily to crime.

Is it Biden's fault retail sales keeps going up?
