Retail vs. Online: Navigating the Evolving Landscape with Surplus Giant

The conversation around retail these days often sounds like a broken record: "Physical stores are dying" or "Online is the only way to go." While it is true that some physical stores are closing their doors, it is also true that others are truly thriving. Here at Surplus Giant, we know that success in today's market, whether you're selling online or from a storefront, all comes down to smart inventory and snagging awesome deals.

Don't Believe the Hype: Physical Stores Are Thriving (Not Dying!)

You've probably seen headlines screaming about a "retail apocalypse," especially when store closure numbers hit the news. It's easy to get sucked into that gloomy outlook. But while losing a local store can be tough on communities and jobs, the big picture is far from a doomsday scenario.

In the last half year, about 5,822 stores closed in the US. But here's the part the news often skip – nearly 4,000 new stores opened up! That's a net closure of just under 2,000 stores, which, when you look at the millions of stores across the country, is a tiny blip – roughly 0.2%. This isn't a crisis; it's just the normal ebb and flow of business, a sign of a healthy, adapting market.

And other key numbers are looking super strong. Retail spaces aren't sitting empty; the vacancy rate is actually pretty low, around 4.2%. Plus, even in this digital age, a massive chunk of sales—about 76% of core retail sales this year—will still happen in physical stores. In fact these physical locations play a huge role in getting online orders to customers, handling over 30% of all online fulfillment.

So, while retail is definitely changing and stores need to keep updating – trying new formats, and refreshing their spaces – this ongoing adaptation is a crucial point that sensational headlines always miss.
