Has anybody had a brick and mortar, closed it and gone strictly e-commerce and then opened a b&m years later? Is clicks & bricks worth it? Background I had a successful brick and mortar back in the 90’s and early 2000’s. First website went live in 1995. Closed the bricks in 2003 and kept e-commerce going. Closing the bricks was mainly due to local competition from relaxed vendor territory restrictions. Basically, malls, were excluded from territory rules. It killed a lot of us. Man…

E-commerce with brick and mortar store for show? There was a new grant recently launched in my county for small business owners.
