I found what I was thinking about earlier in the thread with empty walmarts. It starts at 54min of the video I posted. The size of walmarts make it to where when they are closed down they will sit for months/years because nothing can fill it

I heard that when walmart closes a store the building just stays there. It can never be used for anything else.

Yeah that's true. There was one regular Walmart that closed and was closed for like five years. They then made into a supercenter.

It actually does...other than a Target or K-Mart what other mega-retailer has enough clout and makes enough sales to warrant using a space that large?

As well, look at all of the other mega retailers that went the way of the buffalo.

Bloockbuster
Media Play
Borders
Service Merchandise
Comp USA'
and other casualties of the internet era (including malls, which are dying left and right. And the ones that are completely dead can't be used for anything else...they try using them for corporate lots for office space but that's too much space for that and not too many companies are willing to relocate to those areas especially with business and industries downsizing and being outsourced with computer technology).

target, wal-mart, and k-mart are basically the only ones left and they combined everything possible from all of those stores and from other areas (groceries, clothes, electronics, tools, auto parts, etc)...so what happens when those die out?

The future of retail doesn't look to good. More of them will close.

So if retail dies out, what would transpire from that? How would things develop. Would it now be %100 online shopping now?

I still think malls will exist, cause of food, arcades, skating rinks. Plus you can't factor out women. You really think they'll stop buying clothes at stores? Most women won't buy clothes without trying them out at stores first

Well, Malls are slowly dying. Consumers and Developers now favor Town Centers or Urban Centers. Thats where the stores are all bundled together but are outside instead of inside under one roof.

Thats nice but its too cold for that shyt sometimes like ridge hill here in yonkers. Jan- march will be slow as fukk for retail stores unless its superbowl tv deals. Its about to be a lot of robberies and twat selling going on

 

[Jparker]

Everytime I go to Goodwill, St Vincent De Paul or resale/consignment shops like Plato's Closet, they're jam packed. It wasn't too long ago that "Thrift Shop" (Macklemore) was the #1 song in the country.

For electronics and general merchandise, 3D Printing will kill off alot stores, similar to how smart phones made plenty of things obsolete (Alarm Clocks, Radio, Camera, Camcorder, GPS etc)


Grocery Delivery Service is about to start poppin in the 2020's, with upscale stores like Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Fresh Market, Mariano's leading the way. This will start out catering to the hipster/CAC crowd that prefer to live in "Walkable" neighborhoods without cars, and gradually it willl go mainstream especially in the 2030's when High Speed Rails finish getting built. We already got this in Cincinnati ready to debut:

So it's only a matter of time before we get this:
Obama's proposed high-speed rail network stuck in station

They closed the only one in Baltimore

Good thing I shop at Whole foods

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

That's a lot of robberies, drug deals, and credit card scams on the way

I don't know why. If they get laid off they will be getting a nice check to sit at home. And it's fukking retail. They can have another retail job in a few days.
