This entire shitcon narrative is bullshit, like most shitcon narratives.
Chains came into areas and drove out smaller/local businesses.
They were too aggressive for their own capitalist good in some instances, and now, with no loyalty to anything but their bottom line, are closing stores, sometimes in underserved areas.
In order to avoid the wrath of the locals for their destructive predatory corporatism - and also internal accountability for errors in projected profit - they're using crime in some instances as a catch-all excuse.
WaPo explains:
From the article:
Walmart told Bloomberg News that crime and theft weren’t leading drivers of its decision.
But shitcons here (and everywhere) want to be triggered, want things to be falling apart, want to blame minorities and the so-called "woke," so they embrace these infantile narratives despite mountains of evidence which refute their never-ending narcissistic outrage.

Nope. Not across the country. Only in leftist blue hell holes.
Yeah, Walgreens closing all high earnings stores in San Francisco because those stores aren't earning enough.
You could say that smash and grabbers are doing Amazon a big ass favor. Amazon's package capacity has exceeded UPS and FedEx.

The following have left downtown San Francisco.
Bananna Republic
Starbucks
Target
Nordstrom
Flash mobs and looting don’t attract businesses.
4 in SF, post the links.
Per the linked article: workers are afraid, according to a new report from Motorola Solutions.
It appears obvious to me that the intent of the findings, based on its source, is for businesses to buy Motorola Solutions equipment for their employees.

Businesses don’t want to be in areas where they are going to get looted and flash mobbed. You don’t think it’s a big deal because you don’t have any business or investment in a business that is located in an area that attracts flash mobs.
Why is this so hard for you to understand business risk?

Here are some more data points for you; more stores, wider distribution across the US. Not sure just how many data points you need but the business risk managers within these organizations have obviously seen enough.
Rampant theft caused all these stores to close their doors
Major retailers in the US have been forced to shut down stores due to millions of dollars in losses as rampant theft plagues big box stores across the country.
