Checkmate, brick and mortar!! Amazon is eating the world.


Well...isn't Whole Foods brick and mortar?


In 10 years, Whole Foods will not have retail locations, and its distribution network will have shifted to 100% online orders ;)

and, i should add, kroger and supervalu and etc will be struggling dinosaurs like sears


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
