Since the initial announcement came from a councilperson, it would appear the narrative was politically motivated whether that motivation was entirely the councilperson or the entity of WaWa is not mine to say. The narrative could’ve been entirely fabricated by the media. It could be a play at more tax breaks for businesses, increasing police budget again, etc.

Either way, the entire narrative around the CC WaWas shuttering was based on alleged crime when the facts revolved around those locations just not producing enough revenue.
