That, and those stores are benefiting (?) from the shrinkage of specialty hobby stores. JoAnn fabrics, and countless other specialty hobby stores are now all gone, especially with online availability for a lot of things. So it looks like there isn’t shrinkage in the retail side of things, but if you look more closely…
Not to mention @TriPolar’s excellent point:
But again, internet business eating at all levels of the retail space is IMHO a bigger issue.
