America’s ‘Retail Apocalypse’ Is Really Just Beginning

Where do you see an opportunity in this? and why?

Amazon building more fulfillment centers in the midwest is going to speed up the demise of some retailers. 

With more vacancies in store fronts and fewer retail jobs, where will the growth be? Warehouses and fulfillment centers?

Being in this industry in my day job, I see the larger "high end" retailers taking the biggest hit. The Nordstrams, Dillards, Penney's etc. We've already seen Sears go the way of the dinosaur, and those retailers will continue to take hits. The discount chains like TJX stores (TJ MAXX, MARSHALL's etc) are growing like gangbusters. Brick and mortar will never go away, but its going to change a lot.
