#1 Way too many brick and mortar stores to survive in a digital Amazon age. Sears should have absolutely ruled but they were exiting catalog sales right as Amazon entered - and what is Amazon except a giant online catalog, which Sears already had? Of course Amazon had no sales tax to collect, giving them an 8% advantage - makes one wonder why.
