CBS Sunday Morning:The Fall of Sears

Only reason I visit a mall is to hit up BJs or some other discount volume store. I spend zero time at any smaller stores.

Shit - I don’t even shop at Macy’s/Etc in-person anymore. I buy online and use the retail stores for returns and exchanges. Amazon is hip to that and is planning on retail stores (really more of a “retail presence”) to improve clothing sales and manage exchanges better.
 
Is Sears is still alive? I remember I did a case study for one of my undergrad business classes ('04) on the death of Sears and Kmart.
 
The only mall that I know of these days that is doing really well is North point in Alpharetta
 


They were the original big chain catalog, and those mfkrs didn't see the internet and e-commerce coming..... Imagine if Sears had actually listened to Amazon and branched out first......?
You'll see over the years Amazon will move further into the Sears space... Automotive centers, Amazon approved repair services....

Only people still shopping at Macy's are wannabe's and bougee people …. even when shit is on sale …. ur only getting half off the 2-300% mark up … years ago I worked in a big mall store ….. receiving …. saw the invoices of actual prices …. then the store prices …… fools shop at Macy's and the likes ….. smart people shop and compare prices …. which has been made so much easier with smart phones and the internet …. malls and the stores in them are doomed ….. :smh:
