My wife is an accountant and she has several clients who own apartments, shopping centers, hotels, motels- all very successful and none of them are 'passive' with their investments. 

In addition to that, lots of retail has actually been demolished over the past decade to make room for higher density projects, like apartments.That said, most retail landlords with high quality shopping centers aren't dying for deals.

Jersey Mike's does not want a Subway in the space next to them because they are both competing for the same client during any given lunch rush so every retailer wants to find the highest quality shopping center they can and protect their space by using an Exclusive Use Clause which, in this case, would give Jersey Mike's the exclusive right to sell sandwiches in the shopping center and gives them legal remedies should the Landlord lease to another tenant that sells sandwhiches.
