Marks and spencer Swansea

Apparently the council had been working with M&S for years to keep them in the city centre. At the end of the day if they (M&S) think it's a lost cause, then closure was inevitable. Another flagship shop gone, it's a real shame, for everyone concerned.
 
When I read it I was surprised it was still there. I still go into town, albeit very rarely... but would very unlikely step foot in M+S.

Shopping in person in city centres in the same way as everyone previously did is obviously dying out, never to return. And I don't even necessarily think that's a bad thing, just life. This sort of thing will always be driven by human behaviour as the world changes. Mad to think what town centres used to be like though!

Although, I can't help but think there's a place for smaller stores carrying less stock for people to browse and then order online.

I find online shopping brilliant when you know what you want but you can't beat wandering around and browsing when you're looking for ideas for Xmas presents etc.

How do you know what's out there otherwise? And some products you do sort of need to feel in your hands too.
