Thanks for replying to my post but I don't think I was advocating shopping at one type of retailer over another. My point was simply that consumer demographics and preferences have changed drastically over the past few decades -- and especially among younger consumers -- and that retailers who want to survive need to adapt to those changes or go out of business.

Clearly, there will be exceptions to the rule, but we have already seen the consequences of sticking to the old retailing strategies.
