Good news for the employees. But the future of brick&mortar stores is still pretty dismal. Nothing can turn that around.

GAP deeply discounted over the holiday season which might account for a bumb in sales.

Everything changes and the mall era is ending. Life is moving at a much faster pace and most do not have the time to leasurely stroll the malls anymore when it is so easy to find anything online in less time. I never liked nor did I very often try on clothing in stores. I know I haven't been to a mall in a couple of years and it was only to go to AAA. I prefer to use my time doing other things. Surprisringly I rarely have to return anything I order but I did often return things to B M stores. I also find I spend less money not seeing things that I purchased on a whim.

This surge will be temporary imo....
