[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently inflation is not putting a damper on shopping habits, particularly in the metro DC area. I was at Tyson’s mall Saturday afternoon and I have never seen so many shoppers, not even right before Christmas in pre-Covid years! [/quote]

Guess you missed the impending closure of both the LLBean in Tysons and the Bed, Bath, and Beyond also in Fairfax?

Stores close, stores open, all the time.  Have anything other than anecdotes?[/quote]

You mean besides your 'anecdote' of 'I went shopping on a Saturday afternoon and WOWEEE there were a lot of people'? [/quote]

Your anecdotes of "two stores closed" = authoritative data, uh huh, sure, let's base an entire worldview on it.
Everyone else's anecdotes = garbage

Well, here's some context for yours.  In any given year in the US, on average 14,200 retail stores will close.  On the other hand, on average, 16,900 retail stores will open.[/quote]
