I used to live within walking distance of a giant regional mall.
They never carried everything I needed.
Now I live within 2 miles of a small but still relatively complete shopping center and within 15 minutes of a 200-store mall. Online (Amazon/Newegg/eBay/Microsoft) still wins, mostly on variety/catalog depth but also on speed and convenience. It still takes less time to "search. Pick. Click."
(And digital content? Not much of that at B&M.)
