@YaD68DB-nvx - I politely disagree - Yes we may see more of the WMT stores closing in the future but the tide will turn and you will see someone else taking over the Brick & Mortar business. The mellennials and centennail's will (are) tiring with the whole internet shopping - they are all about experiences (on-line does not provide those) and you will see them shopping in brick stores again - because they like to see, touch and feel the merchandise before they buy it.

Unfortunately we have people that have made too bloody much money sharing their thoughts and ruining it for the rest of us.

We're going to see a deluge of this, I'm afraid. WM has radically over extended itself, and these brick n mortar stores are simply too cost-ineffective against the mass online shopping pandemic.

That's a shame. Used to be we would fix the stores vs. closing them down. An awesome management team with proper upper management support could fix the problem store. I guess we don't have any leadership that has the capabilities nor the drive to offer the necessary support to the local management teams so we now just shut them down. Oh well....maybe Dollar General will take over the space.
