The retailer cited financial losses as the reason it closed four stores in the Chicago area last month, as well as the reason it closed its last remaining stores in Portland, Ore., in March.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillion said in a statement that record-breaking retail theft had hurt the company’s financial performance in 2022.
“Theft is a problem. It’s higher than it’s been historically,” McMillon he told CNBC. Prices “will be higher and/or stores will close,” McMillon said, if Oregon authorities don’t deal with rampant shoplifting.
