I dont know if you intended an /s to follow this but brick and mortar stores as a concept aren't going anywhere.

Nah, no sarcasm intended. There will still be brick and mortar stores in the future, but it will not be the main method of shopping- online will be.

This is especially the case for food. It is not getting cheaper to run a brick and mortar operation with many moving parts. That is why Amazon is winning :)

Only art galeries with high margin unique sales and low overhead costs will be surviving 10 years from now
