6 . Smaller stores
Let’s just face the truth. We live in modern times, where we’re slowly starting to depend entirely on the Internet.
The continuous rise of e-commerce will convince retailers to opt for smaller physical stores, and repurpose extra areas, like turning them into fulfillment centers.
Retailers will find it beneficial because the costs are smaller and it’s easier to maintain and look after.
Plus, the costumer will also be happy because they won’t have to wait so long to buy their products anymore.
In addition, smaller stores don’t need much terrain which means their location can be placed very close to neighborhoods, sparing clients long exhausting drives.
