And it wasn't just that customers didn't show up. With a camera shop, people would come and have the sales person spend time to help them pick out a camera, then leave to buy it at a "big box" store. Meanwhile, the film developing went to food and drug stores.
I have to laugh that supermarkets are now crying foul that Walmart and Target are selling groceries. It was the supermarkets, years ago, that put "mom and pop" drug stores, flower shops, meat markets, card shops, candy shops, bakeries, etc. out of business.
