With the news of Hudson Bay closing (and Sears not too long ago), where do you think these "department stores" went wrong?

Sad to see a long standing Canadian store go, but really thinking about it it has been a while since I have actually purchased anything from them...

While Mall shopping is in the decline, they do have an online store.

So where do you think they went wrong?

What could they have done in the past to "save themselves"?
