IMO most of these companies had over-expanded anyway. Opening stores every year to sell stock to idiots who did not understand the concept of comp store sales.
There is more vacant retail space out there than we’re ever gonna fill again.
Much of it was vacant when it was built, and has never been occupied.
Yet just a few years ago, a majority of Freepers insisted that there wasn’t a real estate bubble. And it wasn’t going to pop...
True, that, imho.
Yet they keep building more! I don't understand why you see so much new retail space being built and so much vacate retail space. What a waste of resources.
