they might pull out of three, they are crazy to go into those areas the theft will be in the 25-35% range, even the employees will steal them blind. everything in the store will have to have a magnetic tag. the grocery stores in those areas have been using those since the 80s and they still lose their ass. Might as well as just give the stuff out for free to those animals

What's your reason for thinking that?

Even if they don't remove existing stores, expansion is unlikely.

>> They won't pull out.

They sure as hell will, if those stores don't meet profitability standards, and they likely won't if those idiotic demands are placed on them. WMT isn't queasy about shutting stores down if need be.

It is stupid for a lot of different reasons. WMT has plenty of places to put stores where communities will fight to have them.
