People still prefer to shop in stores for most products.Business Insider, Mike Nudelman
Demand never quite caught up and then the recession hit, resulting in a sharp contraction in discretionary spending, says John Clapp, a professor at the University of Connecticut's Center for Real Estate.
"Now there's two or three times more retail space per person than we need in the US," Clapp says.
The US has 23.5 square feet of retail space per person, compared with 16.4 square feet in Canada and 11.1 square feet in Australia, the next two countries with the most retail space per capita, according to Morningstar Credit Ratings.
Too much excess retail space has led to a drop in retail sales per square foot in the US. A company like Sears would need to close nearly half its stores to restore its sales per square foot to 2006 levels, according to the real estate analytics firm Green Street Advisors.

Many retailers expected sales to bounce back after the recession. But that never happened for a majority of mall-based stores, primarily because people changed their shopping habits.
"People are making more discerning decisions about what they buy, where they spend, and how they spend," Stephens says.
Specifically, shoppers are buying more experiences than things.
Stephens says this trend, which has been particularly devastating to apparel retailers, is due in part to the rise of social media.
"Experiences make a better story on social media than things," he says. |
