I saw that story yesterday on cnbc and again on the Nightly Business Report.
Does not bode well for the lesser mall REITs and SKT, if UBS' forecast pans out.

e-commerce penetration is inevitable. More and more folks are slowly getting used to it. It is re-shaping retail as we speak and the current real-estate serving retail will be reshaped. The supply destruction has not happening yet. Store closing is not translating into retail space getting re-purposed. It could present opportunities and risk. Investors needs to be on top or avoid this sector.

Local SPG mall has signs up on the old Sears. Being repurposed into 4 different stores. 3 of them recognizable names. One of them some sort of storage business I've not heard of.
News today of Amazon looking at a bunch of empty Sears and K-Mart boxes for Whole Foods sites.
