I don’t get all the fuss about store closures. Sure there is always some degree of danger as the leadership tends to shift the retail to online, but who in their right mind would close a store that’s profitable, no matter how much they want to shift sales to the internet. Of course, unprofitable stores are always in danger, but that was the case even before there was word about a wave of closings.

I'll also add that indirect is no longer taking over the bottom of the barrel stores, they are also asking for mid performing in addition.
They would love to shutdown a store where reps make $50k and replace it with an indirect!
I'd worry more about when your store's lease is up
Tell me how you measure P&L on a Verizon store OP? You don't sound like you know what you are talking about. How do I know this? Because no store is profitable anymore. They were only profitable when there was growth circa 2013.
So...tell me more about how you measure profitability? I'm all ears...
