Being a retail outlet owner is a scary proposition these days. Lets just come out and say it. On-line sales are killing retail outlets all over the country.
The announcement of the closing of the J.C. Penney Store in the Quincy Mall last week was not a good way to start off 2015. This closure is much more than just losing the Penney's store. The ramifications of this closure are far reaching. Not only does it leave a void in the Mall, but it may be a prelude to other stores closing as well.
