America has way too many stores -- at a time when consumers are increasingly shopping online instead of at the mall. One retail CEO even compared the state of retail today to the housing bubble back in the mid-2000s.
Urban Outfitters, Staples, Dick's (DKS) and Men's Wearhouse/Jos. A Bank owner Tailored Brands (TLRD) all reported disappointing quarterly results this week.
Women's apparel retailer J. Jill (JILL) went public on Thursday and found few interested shoppers. The stock fell -- after pricing its offering below its expected range. Handbag retailer Vera Bradley (VRA) underwhelmed Wall Street too.

Probably time to think about how to cash in. Commercial retail real estate is about to get cheap.

Retail space owners could be facing bankruptcy, defaulted loans.

Any news about the extreme pollution of the landscape with junk food shops, them being over supplied?

Burger + fries, really, we need more such shit?

Yeah except Sears has been around for like 500 hundred years and I've never seen a brand new Sears open up

As many folks around there that love Dicks, it's amazing they are struggling financially.

Then you haven't been anywhere. Move out of San Antonio.

Regardless, Sears sucks balls. You cannot buy anything there without enlisting in the military, with as many personal questions they think they are entitled to ask you.

These big stores need to fall tbh, dinosaurs. They all think they are above their own customer base.

Edgy Sears shopper.

I'm good in SA.
