Today, I went by and visited one of my two local brick and mortar high end stores.
The owner is a very pleasant chap who has had his store open for probably more than
25 years. He carries a lot of lines and does home theater. The store is fairly large with
a home theater room and five other audio dem rooms along with a large room for vinyl
sales. A few months ago, he was talking about either closing down or majorly contracting
into much smaller premises. Seems like he now is a little more optimistic, however, I was the
only potential customer there in a period of more than an hour..
Which brings me to my question, how many local brick and mortar high-end stores near you are still in business and how do you think they are doing in this economy?
