Harvard Walmart Shoplifting, Theft Continues — 4 Comments

  1. Endemic and pronounced shoplifting in certain ‘communities’ affects the bottom line so much that the corporate owners of such places opt to flee and close down the stores.

    Exhibit A: https://chicago.suntimes.com/business/marshalls-closing-two-south-side-stores/

    excerpt:

    “Discount retailer Marshalls will be permanently closing two stores on the South Side within a week.

    Marshalls had notified the state weeks before that it will be closing its Back of the Yards store, 1422 W. 47th St., and its Morgan Park location, 11620 S. Marshfield Ave., that is inside Marshfield Plaza.

    Layoffs will affect over 100 employees. Marshalls is an off-price clothing chain run by TJX Companies Inc.

    Marshfield Plaza isn’t only losing Marshalls at the start of the New Year, but it is also set to lose a Target store in February.”

  2. “Of possible interest is that while Harvard reports stores from which stuff is stolen, Crystal Lake and Harvard do not.” Did you mean Huntley does not Cal?
