Despite the rise of e-commerce, I believe there will always be a need for certain brick-and-mortar stores to exist on the high street. While businesses like coffee shops and booksellers will likely never go out of business because they provide a necessary niche, the days of the traditional brick-and-mortar storefront are numbered for most enterprises selling consumer goods. While consumers may reduce their trips to stores, they will still frequent city centers for activities such as visiting the few surviving coffee shops, strolling to and from work, using public transportation, etc. Therefore, individuals will still shop on the spur of the moment, either to waste time or because they notice something intriguing inside the store.
