why is everything closing?

some places were needed during the pandemic and they didn't do well either.

Do younger people not shop anymore? Do younger people not cook any more? Do younger people not sew or do crafts anymore?

We don't need fancy clothing stores...that i get but if you don't cook then why are the restaurants dying?

Why is everything closing? People are shopping online.

@SW-User but stores have online shopiing

SW-User

@LILY61 Exactly. Most stores are looking to move fully online, so they can save a fortune in overheads.

@SW-User no, they are closing....that is what this thread is about. store closings. if they were smart, the anchor stores would have gone back to physical catalogs and making their online shopping perfect.

SW-User

@LILY61 Sorry, do you mean high-street stores closing, or the actual businesses themselves, whether they have an online presence or not?

@SW-User the stores are closing. Kmart and sears roebuck were around before i was born and they had internet sites and catalogs and now they are gone. all of the drug stores are gone or on their way out. sporting goods stores are gone. Joann's fabrics is going to be gone by nest year. Michaels is in trouble. Home improvement stores have been dropping like flies the past ten years. and second hand stores and the like....whom you would think would stick around ....gone....dollars stores going going gone for most of them. OUTLET MALLS FOR GOD'S SAKE! i have seen at least three of those die in my area. that makes no sense at all. none of them kept an online existence....they just disappeared
