In the past decade, with the continuous development of the Internet, online shopping has become the first choice for many young people to shop, and with it is a large number of shops that lack customers, and it is difficult to maintain operating costs and face closure. Today's streets, the number of retail shops is getting smaller and smaller, and the number of restaurants, real estate agents, convenience stores, pharmacies is increasing, these stores can not be replaced by online shopping, and such shops will also be the future of the street "main force".
Technology changes lifestyles
After entering the 21st century, science and technology are gradually developed, the development of the Internet is gradually changing people's lifestyle, ten years ago people's shopping is still based on physical stores, then Taobao is just a new thing that has just come out, the public acceptance is not high, the Network is not fully popularized, and the express delivery industry is only a new industry.
But after decades of development, the Internet into the ordinary people's homes, online shopping is also recognized by more and more people because of its convenience and affordability, according to the latest data show that online shopping has surpassed the physical retail industry, becoming the largest sales industry. The increase in the scale of online shopping is one of the reasons, and the large number of shops facing closure is also one of the important reasons why the total amount of physical retail industry has been surpassed by online shopping.
House prices have risen, and the cost of shops is too high to maintain
In the past decade, house prices have risen rapidly, especially in first- and second-tier cities, the annual rent of a shop in a good location and frontage can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions, so there is also the saying of "one shop to support three generations". However, with the continuous rise of shop rents, it has also led to people who originally wanted to open shops to do business in the face of high rents, and once the business is not good, the capital invested in the early stage will be wasted. Such a high risk also scares off many businessmen. This is also one of the direct reasons why a large number of shops are closed.
Pharmacies and convenience stores are booming "against the current"
Although a large number of stores are at risk of closing, convenience stores, restaurants, pharmacies, etc. are bucking the current and occupy the vast majority of the market. According to relevant data, the total number of pharmacies in the country exceeds 579,000, and the number of various small and medium-sized restaurants is innumerable.
Now many new residential areas have many facade houses on the street, and the vast majority of these shops are convenience stores, pharmacies or restaurants, because with the development of online shopping, the impact on the physical retail industry is too large, and only this kind of convenience store will not be replaced by online shopping because of its convenient and fast attributes, and there is business to do, there are profits to earn, in order to thrive and develop into chain enterprises.
"Strange images" reflect social reality
Because of the development of the Internet, physical business will only become more and more difficult to do, and many stores will only be eliminated by a cruel society if they do not transform and upgrade, which is an indisputable fact. In today's society, in the face of the impact of information technology such as the Internet, only pharmacies, restaurants, convenience stores and other industries can "survive" in the physical industry, and the rest of the bookstores, clothing sales, etc. If they are not combined with the Internet, there is only one final result if they do not do online sales, that is, bankruptcy and bankruptcy, which is a cruel social reality.
Conclusion
Every era has a lifestyle of each era, and it may be that in the future, with the upgrading of business models and the development of science and technology, the business form and way of the shop will change, only by conforming to the times and conforming to the trend of technological development is the only answer to maintain the survival of the store.
