I have a really hard time seeing that. Big box stores and sit down chain restaurants have closed at a very high rate since the 2008 market collapse.
Smaller restaurants and shops are thriving these days around here anyway. I think 95% my spending money either goes to Amazon or locally owned businesses. If you're a small business who sells something that is easy to get on Amazon, and there is no opportunity to add value then, yeah, that's not going to be a good business to be in anymore. But around here, I see far more good and interesting small businesses being run successfully than I did 15 years ago when suburbs were all chains and big boxes.
