Yeah, by the time the 90s rolled around the catalog showroom store was an obsolete concept. There was another one called Service Merchandise that was more widespread, they had a similar concept and a similar fate.
I remember service merchandise, they had conveyors and your product came rolling down after ya paid. It was cool as a kid.
I hope retail finds a way to survive, i hate amazon. Half their shit is counterfeit
