This is true of pretty much all retail. Even giants like Walmart and Target are seeing unprecedented declines in store traffic and sales while Amazon and on-line retailers keep growing and growing. Shopping malls are about to become a thing of the past as anchor stores like Sears and JC Penny continue to close down. It's just not possible for any brick and mortar retail business to compete with the selection, prices, and convenience of an on-line operation.
