Sure, that makes sense.
But none of those stores were Sears, Kmart, Macy’s, Toys R Us, Radio Shack, etc. There has never been a time when the major retailers were disappearing from the brick and mortar like they are now.

Or malls closing.

I’m not rooting against brick and mortar, quite the opposite. There doesn’t seem to be any question that the retail landscape is being remade like never before. How that settles out in the end will be interesting to see.

A positive possibility for commercial real estate space formerly occupied by closed stores:
