If you really want to see where physical retailing is most vulnerable, look no further than the B, C and D level malls out there. By the time 2019 is over, there may be close to 1,000 anchor stores gone from these shopping centers, an average of two per mall. Sears, Macy’s, Penney, Bon Ton and others are among the not-so-incredible disappearing department stores.
