[quote:Anonymous Coward 54469829:MV80NDQxMjQ4XzgwODUwMjQyXzExQUE4OEUx] [quote:Re-Named- 777:MV80NDQxMjQ4XzgwODUwMTUzXzdERjAzNzZG] Were i live in my town they built a massive supermarket in 2002 At that peak time there was a large section of DVDS, Videos, games for playstation etc, and also a large section for laptops and tvs. At that boom time people used to do a months shopping on pay day, and trolleys were filled. Not so much the case now as customers tend to just get a few things, and shop more regularly for special offers. I have thought for a long time they would close it and move to a smaller premises, especially as this depression hits, people are just gonna get bits and shop around for bargains. Also because it is a large store stealing was rife, and the heating and lighting as got to cost a lot. Since the lockdown, items just look spaced out, either they haven't got the stock, or it would just take thousands upon thousands of pounds to fill it, with stuff that may not sell or as a shelf life. That's my take on it x [/quote] Yes. We have some big Meijer stores and they hardly have any customers and the shelves are massively spaced out and not full like they used to be. I wonder how places like this can continue with no one buying like before? Maybe they have online ordering keeping them afloat? We'll know by the end of this year. [/quote]

Most retailers are preparing to go out of business. They are self-liquidating because cost and they know they only have a narrow "re-open" window to do it.
And...
Because the big liquidator companies are overwhelmed and can't move the product to other retailers because there are no
other
retailers now.
They can't even load it and ship it to dump it in Africa or South America.
So this is why.
