I think retail in general is a dying business. As people get more and more comfortable with online purchases, the main thing that retailers have going for them is timing of purchases. And with overnight shipping that means something you can't wait at least 24 hours to get.

The other advantage that is hard to replicate is the ability to get your hands on something before making a purchase decision. But there are very few things we buy where that is worth the extra cost that comes with B&M retailers.

My wife is a good test case on this. When I first met her 12 years ago, she had never bought anything online. Now she even buys her groceries online and has them delivered to the house. Her last holdout item is clothing.
