It's a very strong brand, so they will attract all kind of people looking for a new bike, who aren't necessarily clued-up, and/or happy to pay extra for the perceived "premium" experience.
Also choice = convenience, and they have no competition in that respect.
And the shop will also sell to people who would usually buy everything online but need that super rare spare for their 1998 Veloce shifter, or need that Stages cover today etc... There's a lot of last minute purchases in there.

Also choice = convenienceThese are key takeaways for me.
LBK, SeaBass, CyclePS, SBC, HubVelo are strong young independent brands if they sustain.
I am guessing all local shops have abandoned sales (due to online) and focussed on service already.How do you (not you specifically) explain the growth in general commuter cycling yet closing down of shops? Low spenders?
Also, I have made some panic purchases in Condor too, they tend to stock the most obscure stuff in London.

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/verenti-substance-ii-apex1-2017-adventure-road-bike-oran/This is not the rapha 'bib shorts for £200!?!!' comparison either. Its quite apple to apple. Steel frame (I know Condor is spirit but meh) with carbon forks. Verenti actually has modern standards like flat mount and thru-axle front/rear.
Madness.
🤷🏽♂️
I kinda knew all that but how have their customers havent found this out compared to the (same?) customers that go in other shops?
