Retail is evolving more quickly than ever before.
More than 6,000 stores are slated to close in 2019. Charlotte Russe, Family Dollar, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Chico's recently announced more than 1,100 store closures in a span of 24 hours.
As shoppers move their spending online and foot traffic to malls declines, legacy retailers have been forced to rethink their strategies, and new companies have sprung up to take advantage of a big opportunity.
