Yet people still need a place to go and hang out, and maybe spend a little, kick the tires on items and maybe buy online later. Look at Starbucks, people go to be seen and then for coffee.
That is what Amazon is intending to do with the Whole Foods purchase. They are looking to reinvent the way people shop and interact with brands. Stores and shops will sell stuff, but they will also be a place for people to interact with a brand, or with items, then purchase later while home on the ipad watching netflix.
Like I said, people still want to go somewhere, just not wal-mart and target anymore.
