Most of the stores are in malls now. Go to almost any medium size city of town's downtown area in this country and you'll see empty buildings and offices where retail once was. Stores moved into malls and left decimated Main Streets across the country. The question should be what's going to happen to all these malls with the advent of internet shopping.
Amazon has made going out to shop obsolete and more and more people will be shopping online. I haven't been out Christmas shopping in twenty years except for a few small last minute items. You can get better prices and free shipping with almost everything if you know what you're doing. Food shopping is going to be all there is left in the future and we even have supermarket chains like Publix allowing to shop online and then the product is delivered to your door. Pretty soon no one will ever leave their house except to go to Disney.
