MWITA-OXO-2026-003 · Evidence B · P1
Closing a store caused an estimated monthly net sales loss of USD 209,317 per affected county, equal to 18.7% of retailer net sales there, while active and new customers, app users and app engagement also declined.
What this does not establish
Permanent closures at one large US chain do not directly estimate temporary renovations, convenience formats or markets with materially different store density.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Digital and nearby-store channels did not fully absorb lost demand; loyalty moderated but did not reverse the average negative spillover.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised versions, denominators, confidence intervals, platform or model changes, and deployed human or commercial outcomes.
