I think all this started with AMAZON , cheap prices at first with free shipping, now higher member price per year, and prices are twice as much.
Was easier to buy from them than buy at a local store.
Walmart followed the same plan.
CVS left my town last year, Family Dollar the same.
We have three Autoparts stores , all different!
I have a hard time understanding a small town with 3 Autoparts stores and 4 pizza shops , one laundry mat, 3 gas stations , one bar part time .
Post office can't deliver on time anymore.
Produce stands everywhere, yet they don't grow their produce.
Things are very different than they were just 10 years ago.
Never understood why a store or fast food business , would close, and the new owner tears down the old store, rebuilds a new store almost the same .Tax breaks?

Most of the time it would cost almost as much to remodel and incorporate all the code changes needed.I was looking at taking over a store Albertsons was closing All the refrigeration equipment was going to have to be replaced along with the entire HVAC system that alone was going to be right at a million dollars.
