"Lack of a successor".

This is a very common problem these days; during the winter I bought a sweater at a Portland outdoor gear shop after searching all over creation for real wool clothing as it was a bitterly cold winter.

The owner told me that he could not find someone to buy his store as everyone shops online these days. When he retires he's just going to shut it down.

Can't he hire someone who would go online?
