I felt sorry for you until you mentioned the Browns. Now I feel really sorry for you. Browns Bros Untied!

Where I live now (Philly suburb) there used to be a local bakery which was beloved, but their landlord raised their rent on them and they had to shut down. The location then sat vacant for about 7 years. I'm no finance wizard, but how does it make any sense to go from whatever their rent was previously to zero fucking rental income? A couple of months ago a fucking Wonder finally opened there, so maybe that explains it -- no real business can possibly compete with a company burning through venture capital.
