If done right and not on every corner it can work, Cabela's, LL Bean, Orvis
They all depended on their catalog sales which was the precursor to internet sales.
The only retail stores that will survive the long run are those that sell things you can't order online like groceries, gasoline and service industries with some exceptions. Cabela's, LL Bean, Orris, etc. have brick and mortar stores but they are more like showrooms with skeleton stock levels and on average not profitable with all the overhead.
