I was just thinking about how popular video stores used to be and thought I’d ask about the other side of the issue.

The digital age has certainly turned a lot of things on its head. If 20 years ago someone had listed all the business that have gone under in the last 10 years, they'd think you were crazy. Part of it though is that too many big businesses have been slow to react to changes or have flatout refused to adapt their ways and have gone under as a result or are heading in that direction. As for your question, yeah grocery stores and gas stations.

I mean it’s not going to happen tomorrow, but more and more people are using Amazon Prime to have food delivered. As for gas delivery, the gang on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia already have that a go. Twice!

Clothing stores. Types of clothing stores will come and go, but clothing stores as a concept will never go out of business because clothing is essential to life.

I figure that until we leave oil behind though, gas stations will remain. Despite how quickly some businesses and common practices have change these will take much longer I suspect. There will probably be a sizable contingent for as long as we live that still utilizes traditional grocery stores and gas stations (unless the electric car industry takes manages to claim a much larger share of the market).

Probably service stations, barring the invention of teleporters.
Even if they stopped selling gas, there's always going to be a market for "I need to pee and buy a soda, pull over". If people stopped having road trips, that'd be pretty much the only way these would stop having a function.

I was going to say brothels, but it's just a matter of time before realistic and affordable sexbots are a thing.

While actual clothing sellers might not be going anywheres, I could easily see brick and mortar stores that sell them disappear.
