They're already doing that. most of them open till 8pm to compensate those who work longer hours that's becoming the norms.
They even work bank holiday too on an ironically normal opening time (9-5).
There's only so much you can put in a shop, whether places like Wiggle have an actual warehouse, again, some shop do have that (Condor have their own abet small, warehouse in Bermondsey)
A lots of places have price match offer but the smallest shop, the sales margin isn't great when the retail price is quite close to trade price (again place like Wiggle can afford to do that as they don't have brick and mortar shop around the UK).
Probably if it's quicker and easier to obtain than special ordering the part (which usually take a little longer than usual if it's not a typical order).
