Default Brick and Mortar Bankruptcy Bonanza

There's so many of them. Just follow that link.

L Brands is on the clock. It's no longer a "secret"

So no more brick and mortar. Empty strip malls all over the country.

Seems like the perfect opportunity for gov. subsidized housing for illegals and all the "non-violent" felons being released.

Amazon Prime, Casper (Bed in a Box), Order now and get delivery in three hours.

It's all changing in the face of too much retail to begin with.

I thought Circuit City was a great store. Of course they morphed into Carmax, where you can buy a car on line from anywhere in the country and are killing it.

I just bought a used car while on my treadmill last month at 5:30 am. Went to the dealer and didn't even test drive it. They gave a 30 day return policy. Love the car and no hassle.

Online retailers are using the same tactics Wal-Mart used on Mom and Pop stores.

The prices will rise and the customer service will decline once they destroy brick and mortar.

There are more long-term negatives than positive. I'm sure we're all aware of most of them.
