Certain kinds of retail will be fine. Specialty (aimed at teenagers who
can't stand having 20 bucks in their pocket) clothing lines at the mall.
Some Mom and Pop shops if they're in the right place. Regardless, it
doesn't pay to be an electonics retailer right now. Amazon (anything under
the sun) and Walmart (sometimes questionable quality but take it home now)
take the bulk of those. If you can make yourself stand out with service
you'll be ok. Not many stores care to even try though. I think Fry's does
well because you can't get capacitors and such from Radio Shack anymore.
