Chains in the retail industry have to adjust occasionally.
Remember Ben Franklin 5 & Dimes? Woolco? Woolworth? A JC Penny on the square in every little town? The local Sears?

“...the local Sears...”
You used to be able to buy everything, and I mean everything throught Sears catalog sales. If they had kept it and transitioned to online, it would be bigger than Amazon ever dreamed of.

I do remember Ben Franklin, and Woolworth, we still have a local Sears.

I was just telling my son today about the old Sears store at Geary & Masonic in San Fran today when we drove by the new "City Target SF West" and Best Buy stores -- in the old Sears building. Of course, BB is a dead man walking, too and won't last near as long as Sears did at the location.
