Is "big box retail" dying?
The last time I went to Walmart or Target, it felt as if the store had lost some of the mass allure. The merchandise seemed of a lower quality than usual, the stocking was more disorganized than usual, the colors were drabber, the lighting poor, the configuration of the merchandise placement in the store made no sense.
I don’t shop “big box” very much anymore because my children are grown. (Actually, I don’t shop much in any form – mall, online, independent, big box). I can’t decide if it’s just me, or if something had changed. It used to be nothing to spend $200 in Target, on household items, things like socks, decor items, accessories, etc. The last two trips, I came out without purchasing anything.
