Well, it’s an ongoing trend, as Sears, Penney’s ,Macy’s etc have problems, and internet shopping has grown so much.
Many on this site have talked how they haven’t been to a shopping mall in years, and won’t go there. And go on to tell us how they do so much of their shopping online nowadays.
And a big percentage of online shopping goes through Amazon.
A vacant Sears near me was turned into a Burlington Coat Factory location. We will see former retail locations of shrinking or out of business companies put to other uses.
“A vacant Sears near me was turned into a Burlington Coat Factory location.”
If it goes from one retail store to another it is still a retail store building. By Amazon buying the locations. it creates a more expensive barrier to entry for other retail businesses in the future.
The ONLY thing I go to the store for now is groceries!! EVERYTHING else and I mean EVERYTHING comes from Amazon there is NOT ONE thing I cant find there and it is at my door if not the next day the day after!! Simply AMAZING, I hate Bezos but Amazon is an amazing company it really is!!
