Made the trip once and looked forward to going again when I had some down time.
Retail brick'n mortar is a dying business model. Sure, it makes a better experience for the customer (they can touch and feel), but the overhead makes ittough when you consider the already low profit margins.
Think about it, you've GOT to keep the store looking stocked even if you don't have alot of traffic. With the internet, as you can adjust yourinventory levels JIT (just in time) when the demand is their.
Now, being a manufacturer /mass producer and having a bricks n' mortar location is a bit better (think old navy, gap, ).
