Nobody is left. That's kind of the point. Not an exageration.
You're probably right about the smaller stores doing well, unfortunately I haven't seen many instances of a company successfully remaking itself in that way fast enough to avoid bankruptcy. Look at Borders, Blockbuster. The only one I can think of is Woolworth (now Footlocker).
