On one hand I find it interesting to see how certain businesses come in and disrupt the market, but in this case, I am not so sure. I like being able to go into a store and look at an item before I purchase it. I know there have been several instances that I have researched an item online, looked at it in the store, and decided not to purchase after physically looking at it.

Like you mentioned, many stores are closing, but I am hoping some smaller shops come in and fill the void. Only time will tell, but I am hopeful. Great article!
