      Yes and this was part of the concern. They move in, other stores can't compete on price. Those stores close down, then Walmart leaves. Leaving the community with less than it had before.

    The lease excuse is B.S. Generally, commercial leases are negotiated with 10-15 year term to start and then option to renew every 5 years for a total term of 50-90 years. Rate of increases is often negotiated as well. Walmart is no amateur when it comes to this stuff. In short, the stores weren't doing well. Since many say the stores were busy, then likely it was theft that did the locations in.

    I don't live in the area or even in the state of California but from my research, I found those stores have a VERY HIGH CRIME RATE (shoplifting, credit fraud, illegal food stamp transaction, etc.) and I personally believe that is the main reason why those stores are closing. Wal-Mart doesn't want to tell the truth in fear it will encourage people in other areas to go after their other Wal Mart stores being an easy target for criminals. Just my opinion.

    *Too much retail theft has cut down on the profit margin.*
    *This is a common problem in California because the laws do not punish shoplifters*
    The alternative to having them close would be for the store to revamp it for a new style of shopping. That is have the customer
    wait in some sort of lobby while an employee filled a cart and checked out the merchandise. The customer would receive the cart
    after the merchandise was paid for. There would probably also be a no-returns policy. Wal-Mart doesn't want to bother with this
    type of shopping model.
