This is purely my observation, and it's no better than one you would have. The only difference is that I'm lucky enough to have a forum here to express it. (But I'll give you a chance to share my forum at the end). Here is why I think big box retailers are idiots and will lose in the long run if they don't shape up!
I'm not sure if this will affect our local stores. Best Buy is the largest U.S. electronics retailer and they're planning to use less space at their big-box stores by 10 percent over the next few years.
Remember when life was more simple? I don't know how old you are, but I certainly do. I remember only having 3 tv channels , and one of them came in "fuzzy". The corner grocery store! The local hardware store with maybe 50 paint choices, TOPS!. Big Box store? What's THAT about?
