...how their profit generation would be affected by closing that store.

But I do know their priority is maximizing profit and, as I wrote, I don't believe they are keeping a store open that is showing a loss just to be nice, in fact, the shareholders could take the decisionmakers to court over that.

I'm just trying to stick to the reality of the situation here. Getting all warm and fuzzy feelings from a for-profit corporation is just a reflection of successful marketing. Corporations really aren't people, no matter what 'Citizens United' says.
