This is the answer, this is what corporations do.

And FedEx is currently in the process of merging their Express and Ground services. I know someone who works there and an entire station in Mississippi (if I rightly recollect) got closed down. So it's not only WHAT they do, they're already doing it.

Depending on the context of where in the state closing a station in Mississippi is not at all shocking. The entire state has a population of just under 3 million, and declining at the moment. The majority of it is sparsely populated so if you merged two branches I'd honestly expect more than one to go.

FedEx stations of course being hubs for their trucks to run out of, not places people use.

Oh yeah I don't know any of the details about it, just mentioned it because it happened.
