If B&M is to have a future it lies down that path. Regional depots serving an abundance of small storefronts.
In the age of online you can't assume customers are willing to travel far to get to the products. In their heydey, the Key trait of BLOCKBUSTERS was their ubiquity. In my area I had two within a 5 minute drive, one heading east, one west. That was in addition to three independent "video clubs" and, later, a Hollywood video. All survived...
...until Netflix popped up and started bringing the disks to the customer.
At that point, ubiquity became a liability.
