Shopping has changed. Consumers have more choices then ever. The internet has made it so easy to shop on line. Brick and mortar stores need to adjust to changes. I do believe consumers still actually like on site shopping, I know I do.  A lot of the veteran stores have failed to adjust to consumers, they're still operate the same way they did years ago. Because of this, I believe that is why stores are failing. Target for example is a store that is geared for todays market. Stores like Kmart , Walmart, Sears, JC Penny, in my opinion has failed to keep up with the times. Nothing stays the same, businesses need to change as the market does. If they don't they will be left in the dust.
