Its not like this is a new or surprising change, online retailing has been coming for a long time and if your store cant cope then I dont really have sympathy.
Find other uses, find new ways to get people to the store, the days of throwing random junk on shelves and expecting people to show up is never coming back.

For dead malls in some cities, like Alexandria, VA's Landmark, there are plans to redevelop the valuable land into mixed used developments - retail, entertainment and housing. I think this will happen for many cities, especially in high price areas on the coasts.
