I suspect there will be mass retail store closures/indirect takeovers over the next two years. If you listen to the Q4 earnings call 10 min 20 seconds in when Dan is speaking he word for word says “we expect to realize 1 billion in run rate operating cost synergies by 2028-double our initial estimate. These savings will be derived from network integration, THIRD PARTY CONTRACT EFFICIENCIES, and go to market savings across marketing and advertising.” If you work at small retail store that is not considered an “A” store and you are within a 10-15 mile radius of another corp store you should be working on your backup plan now and trying to transfer to the A store in your area.
