It appears that they are merely closing the bricks-n-mortar, but
maintaining a Web presence.


So it's really "Internet saves another niche business."


Not really. The Internet makes it nonviable for a business to have a
brick-and-mortar presence; but the business survives by following the
footsteps of its competitors.

Presumably, if it weren't _for_ the Internet, it wouldn't need
"saving" in this fashion.
