It is mostly online and B&M stores vs. Amazon. Three of my smaller online accounts have closed up shop and I'm aware of hundreds more outside of my direct industry that are struggling and they all say the same thing... "Amazon".

Amazon is negatively affecting even the mammoths like GC, Sears, Macy's and this list is too long to mention everyone. They have literally changed the landscape of retail in this country and unfortunately have put so many treasured American businesses out of business.
After the buy out of Whole Foods Inc., Amazon cut prices by 45%
