Brick and Mortar stores are dying. I do most of my shopping online. I also buy locally at a mom and pop businesses. If I need to know about a product, I want someone knowledgeable in product, not someone who is hired at $8/hour, that's why mom and pop stores are great. More expensive, but worth it.

Quite interesting as I was in one 2 weeks ago to look for a laptop, just to see what they had. And low and behold it was closing I wanna say March 1st, this was the one in Northeast Philadelphia on Roosevelt Blvd near Red Lion Road.

I ended up getting a laptop online...so I guess yea I can see why they are shutting down stores.
