Behold! Neighborhood businesses wither and die.

When all the business does is order from the catalog shipped from China and stock a shelf it’s not that worrisome when they die.

Businesses that should be able to sustain themselves are things that have additional experiences and services. Food, coffee, sports shops with fittings or lessons, bike shops with repair rooms, art galleries that are fun to browse, clothing stores that you can touch and try on, stuff crafted locally that is tangibly better than something mass produced, etc.

Multibrand retail should be about curation, and a shop that does little more than open boxes is not worth supporting, I'll grant you that.

Your list is good, but how many are vulnerable to competition from online ?
