Nike will not reopen its stores in Portland due to theft and violent crime

Yes…ironically they all have one thing in common…over 100 plus years of dem control…only in this last century have they started coming out of it

Nike has decided to abandon reopening one of its iconic factory stores in Portland, Oregon, due to issues involving “theft and safety.”

The sports apparel giant reached out to the Soul District Business Association (SBDA) of Portland on Friday and informed them of their decision to cancel the reopening of the store they had closed last fall.

“This news has landed like a lead balloon in our district,” said John Washington, the SDBA’s executive director. “We had all been holding our breath since last November when the store quietly shuttered its doors due to internal and external theft and safety issues. But, like so many of us riding out the fallout of the pandemic and protests, we held out hope that Nike, city officials and community leaders would recalibrate and realign order. But it looks like it’s game over.”

Nike didn’t decide to abandon the store without attempting to salvage the situation. The company had sought to save the store by hiring off-duty Portland Police Bureau (PPB) officers to serve as security. However, due to police defunding efforts and attrition, the PPB said they would struggle to fulfill Nike’s request.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Nike has abandoned its efforts to reopen its long-shuttered community store in Northeast Portland and now plans to make the store's closure permanent.

"Nike’s commitment to supporting and uplifting Portland’s North and Northeast community is unwavering," the company said. "We are reimagining Nike’s retail space, permanently closing our current location at 2650 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and considering future locations as part of this community’s long term revitalization plan. True to our roots, we will seek the input of local community organizations and leaders to determine the best new location."Portland community leader Ron Herndon said a Nike representative called Thursday night to inform him the community store would be closing permanently.
"It's very disappointing," Herndon said. "I wish we could have had a different outcome."

Herndon and the Black United Front approached Nike nearly four decades ago and urged the company to build its first ever factory store on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, then called Union Avenue.

The store opened in 1984 and became a Portland institution, eventually outgrowing its original home and moving to its current location in 2000. But the outlet went on an indefinite hiatus last year following a prominent rise in shoplifting.
Few outside of the area actually care...
but continue.

 
Online is the only safe way to sell anything in places run by people like you. Although you people have started looting Amazon trucks, too, so I'm sure that will be ending at some point.

They don't sell stuff in poor rural white areas.
 
Good. Keep denying the Democrats quality of life until they learn to behave.
