The closings, effective Oct. 21, will involve three stores in San Francisco/Oakland, three in Portland, Oregon, two in Seattle and one in Harlem in New York. “We know that our stores serve an important role in their communities, but we can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe for all,”The company said it has “invested heavily in strategies to prevent and stop theft and organized retail crime in our stores” prior to making its decision. Those efforts included adding more security to stores, using third-party security guard services, and implementing “theft-deterrent” tools across the business.
“Despite our efforts, unfortunately, we continue to face fundamental challenges to operating these stores safely and successfully,” the statement said.
