Shoplifting and violence were cited as reasons by Walgreens. Politicians blame greed, and don't mention crime. Another South Side Walgreens is slated to close in coming weeks
The Walgreens at 8628 S. Cottage Grove Ave. will shut its doors June 4, according to Walgreens. The closure comes a little more than a year after Walgreens shuttered five other stores on the South and West sides of Chicago, amid a larger plan at the time to close 1,200 stores nationwide. Walgreens is also closing a specialty pharmacy in South Shore later this month.
Ald. William Hall, 6th, said he first heard about the planned Cottage Grove Avenue store closure earlier this week. He said the community has been “blindsided.”
Because it couldn't be what Walgreens actually said, which is that crime - shoplifting and violence - drove them out of the neighborhood. That would mean recognizing that crime is destroying the city, and Democrats won't do that.
Fun Fact: Big Bill Thompson, the last Republican mayor of Chicago, left office in 1931.
Here is a link to Cash Jordan's video Chicago LEGALIZES Retail Theft… Wiping 4,300 Businesses OFF THE MAP. The video is a bit over-the-top, as most of Jordan's videos are, but only a bit. It is almost 20 minutes, so plan accordingly.
It really was a wonderful city in my lifetime. Now you can't pay me to set foot in it.
