I'd imagine the clothing/shoe shops will hold their own in the long term. There's no real substitute for trying something on in real life. However, the over-priced sector will be slimmed down a LOT.
We only have HMV that does a decent music/film catalogue in our town, all the others over ther years have gone. (Parrott Records, Our Price, Woolworths, Virgin Megastore & Zavii) If HMV go I'll only have the supermarkets to browse and they don't do much variaty.
