Back in February, Nike officials sent a letter to the Democratic mayor of Portland Ted Wheeler, and warned him that the store was going to close due to “deteriorating public safety conditions and rapid escalation in retail theft.”
Nike then offered to pay the city to have extra police officers outside their store due to the high theft rate but Wheeler’s office never responded.
