I wonder if online shopping could help these stores. Not sure about costs of maintaining that. The independent stores near me are at least 45 min drive away. So it's not a matter of $1 or 2 each item, but that plus gas and time costs. You are so right about them playing up their strengths in their knowledge of the latest products, unique products that you can't find anywhere, and classes! I think every local shop should keep their websites up to date and a blog. That helps tremendously in keeping me wanting to visit!
