This is part of the new world order - right?
West Marine kills mom and pop chandleries...
Amazon Prime kills West Marine?
Or is there room in the marketplace for all to coexist?
Yep, that's the way it works. Look at the retail giants of yesteryear ie: Sears, Penneys, Monkey Ward and others. What happened? Someone came up with a better idea for getting the goods to the public. Enter Walmart, Sam's Club, Costco and the big box electronic retailers. Now, maybe a better idea has come along enter ebay and Amazon. Could it be that next day delivery or even same day delivery could drive a nail in the coffin of Walmart? We'll have to see, but if it does it will affect a lot of other things. Things like automobiles, the oil business, or whatever. Just think you could have more time to play Pokemon Go.
It is surprising how seemingly small things can give a company and edge to dominate a market. Now, that's the American Way!
