Closing stores

Read today in newspaper that Williams Sonoma (famous Californian company for kitchen utensils, cookware and much more...) will close his Bloor store in 2015 January... the fault to the always raising rental fees... 
Arggghhh.... 
If a such famous and wealthy company can’t no more afford a store on the (what is said) best location in Toronto for a high end brand, imagine for a small business... Harsh time even for Bigs :)
