The Great Portland Walmart Stampede: Where'd They All Go?
Hold onto your shopping carts, Portland! Remember the good ol' days of battling crowds for that bargain bin yoga mat? Those days are officially over. That's right, folks, all the Walmarts in Portland have shuffled off to retail heaven (or maybe Florida, who knows).
But fear not, bargain hunters! This isn't a post-apocalyptic retail wasteland we've stumbled into. It's more like a... strategic retail retreat.

Why Should I Care? Is This The Retail Rapture?

Plus, with fewer Walmarts, who knows? Maybe you'll finally snag a parking spot at the grocery store without participating in a real-life game of bumper cars.
Okay, Okay, But Seriously... What Now?
Look, if you're truly devastated by the lack of blue vests in your life, there are still Walmart options outside the city limits. Just be prepared for a bit of a road trip.
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
But this could also be your chance to embrace the local, support small businesses, and maybe even discover a hidden gem (like that quirky store with all the cat-themed kitchenware. You know it's out there).
