In rebellion to online and box stores I feel like really locally connected businesses are having a resurgence. For food small grocers are popping up. Folks seem into all things locally sourced, organic and sustainable. And this goes from food, to cosmetics, to home furnishings, to pet products. In place of a big department stores like Meyer or David Jones you will see stand alone shoe stores, kids clothing, athletic wear... heck amazon even opened a brick and mortar actual book store near my work. I think the most successful businesses are going to need to cater to people across all platforms. In some ways having a large online presence with a small brick and mortar presence is genius. You can still cater to folks who want to touch and shop, while keeping your inventory somewhere with low overhead cost.
