Either that happened because of the Internet or because of the bigger, more powerful chains. I'll probably go with the former as Zavvi (previously Virgin) used to have high Street stores but are now, with few exceptions, Internet only.

Face it, when did you last find an in-store bargain which was better than anything on the Internet?
Zavvi went bust. The Hut bought just the name as it was a recognizable brand online. Same thing happened with Woolworths...

The Internet has had a massive impact on high street stores such as HMV but it's the supermarkets which have done the most damage.
