    Running a physical showroom in 2026 — still worth it or just expensive nostalgia?

    We had a showroom for 30 years and for many of these years the footfall was good, slowly the footfall decreased so we closed it in 2004 and went completely on line, it really depends how many people visit each day or week, just look at showroom income/profit against costs and your answer is simple.
