It's TOON in, this sellers, and Bricks and MORTARS, jk.

It's also 'brick and mortar', not 'bricks and mortar'.
'Bricks and mortar' is what something is made of.
"Brick and mortar' is what something is.

Have you ever seen that website engrish.com?

Perhaps in Hawaii. lol Most of the kids I grew up with had parents who were from overseas. You learn to adapt and understand...even pidgin english, which my mother forbid in our household. And she's from Hawaii!! 🤙

Brick or Bricks and Mortar is still not right. All cliches are subject to suspicion.
I had a physical retail store in a wood frame building. No bricks, no mortar.
My current warehouse is a steel building.

Let me tell you about how many OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS I had to read at a previous job that contained misspellings and grammatical errors.

That's an interesting point, but I think "brick and mortar" has become a catch-all term for physical store whether if it's steel and concrete or wattle and daub, sort of a synecdoche - "ears" for hearing or getting "the eyes" on an advertisement (or say "wheels" for car or "track iron" for a track racing bike).
Of course, we've seen that taken to a silly extreme (usually in advertising).

Tune in to hear how these seller went from Bricks & Mortar to an Online Store
