    The one near me (in Canada), just can’t seem to figure out what it wants to be and reinvents itself, and fails further, about every five years or so. They went through a phase with a massive music section, probably 25% or more of the store and tried to take on music store chains - that was always dead empty. Then that section went away for a while, and then they fully closed for a huge overhaul and re-opened with about 75% of the store now just an appliance store. The whole place is a ghost town and used to be quite busy when it was an electronics store like we normally associate them to be. I don’t even shop online anymore because they’ve expanded into the whole “marketplace” concept and are just another amazon where you need to closely check where you’re even buying from. I bet there’d be more success in doing what they’re good at instead of having to try and be like everyone else.
