This is a perfect example of online retailers eating brick and mortar's lunch.
Given that price is the biggest factor is mid sized purchases like a mattress, I don't see them coming back from this. You can't compete with the online companies on price if you're paying for local floor space and local delivery.
- fetus8 8y agoNot only are the online retailers eating their lunch, but Mattress Firm opened an insane amount of stores, super close to each other. They opened probably close to 10-15 stores within a 25 mile radius of where I live, over the last couple years. As new stores opened, I joked with friends that the only way these stores could exist would be as a front for money laundering or something.
