| Comment | Perhaps it's for the best. Downtown shopping areas in cities around the world are seeing a general decline because modern societies have largely moved away from in-person shopping as a social activity. The need for online marketing and e-commerce for many modern storefronts to survive has largely done away with the novelty of shops without an online presence. Even shops with a large storefront may have a more consistent online catalog, so there is no advantage to engage in B&M sales. |
