“Hate to break it to you but big box retailers survived the Great Depression of the 30’s”

Really, and who would they be?

Sears for one. Montgomery ward for another. Big box is just another name for discount department chains with ugly buildings.

Sears has managed to hang around but they are hardly the example for success. They are a better example of how being unwilling to give up.

Montgomery Ward no longer exists.

Yep - JC Penney is another. Still hanging in there.
