Milwaukee is the latest in a long list of US cities facing a rapid retail exodus in minority neighborhoods and once again the blame is being placed on the companies in question rather than the behavior of the residents as they protests the rising tide of “food deserts”.
At the beginning of July, city officials mounted a public outcry after Cincinnati-based Kroger Co. announced the decision to close at least five Pick ‘n Save supermarket locations, including one in Milwaukee’s Metcalfe Park neighborhood.
The city was also notified by Walgreens that they will be closing at least seven locations over the next two years and CVS will be closing some locations as well. Activists argue that the closures center around “black and brown neighborhoods” and that these areas “deserve access” to nearby grocery outlets
They don’t want to be held up on a regular basis. They don’t want oa ongoing thug presence.
If the residents want these types of retail outlets, they should act like it.
It is a valid business decision!
Somehow I just can’t feel sorry for these folks. BLM advocates didn’t want them there, the stores didn’t want the theft and rioting and looting. So now their racist because they are leaving???
Puhleese. Give me a break. Let’s see what they’ll do to get them back.
Well thugs aka demoncrats. FAFO – this is what your actions caused.
let those people open their own stores and see if they can survive amoung their own
Their own is what has driven them to close.
