Eaten by Amazon. Stores with relatively undistinguished wares and store presence can’t stand up to web-based competition featuring substantially identical items.
Also driven by waves of feral beasts occupying those establishments.
I would have thought CVS would be more or less immune. Maybe they shouodn’t have dropped cigs.
Unless Amazon is convincing fed, state, local legislators to keep jacking the minimum wage, up taxes and regs, I don’t think it’s all Amazon’s fault.
relatively undistinguished wares = mostly all the same cheap Chinese junk.
Why buy from Amazon? They support abortion.
My dollars won’t hit their pages.
I can’t remember the last time I was in a department store or mall.
Not just Amazon, CRIME, is a big factor. While Macy’s may be in a mall, many are high crime areas, there are some Walmart’s you’d not go into with out a gun open carry, the crime is that high. These were never profitable stores to begin with. Shop lifting is high too.
And when you only cater to 1 ethnic group, or age you lost a lot of customers.
Macy’s, Targets did themselves in with men in women’s bathrooms.

I got tired of going to a brick-and-mortar store only to find that they didn’t have jack that I needed. I can almost always find anything online, usually on Amazon.
