Technology has had a huge impact on traditional brick and mortar retailing and consumer behavior toward shopping. Many consumers shop in store for size, color, trends, etc. but then purchase online.  Consider the growing impact of e-commerce on traditional retailers and logistics.  E-commerce is forcing retailers to adapt and adjust their retail strategies to include omni channel retailing with increasing online transactions and changes to consumer behavior. 

Add the impact COVID-19 has had on retailing by accelerating this transition in traditional brick and mortar retail locations as well as forcing changes in consumer behavior.  Consumers who were reluctant to shop online now do so frequently and with growing confidence.
