Tbh, regardless of why they're shutting down it's probably not the worst thing in the world. Big box stores aren't very good for the local economy. It's very well researched and documented that once big box stores move into a community, small locally owned businesses suffer and less money flows back into the economy of the area.
A big box store may hurt smaller store fronts but they can also compliment each other by pushing sales. When a big box store and small store fronts all close down everyone in the community loses.
Especially if you are forced to do all your ordering online.
