LBS vs Online stores

^ good post.

Sorry but I find your post really hard to understand. It's retail. I'm not really sure what you expect.

What makes a LBS so special? Look at someone like Metro Bank - their whole brand is based on being a "retail business", so they are open when shops are open. Shops open (or should) at the times best suited to consumers. How does that not make sense?

I still don't actually think hours inthemselves will make much difference though. As dammit points out you need to have some sort of USP.

I'm sorry, but if you can't understand my point you're probably already of the mindset that's causing the gradual erosion of important social values in exchange for the good of the market.

I'm guessing we have fundamentally opposing beliefs, other than viewing cycling as a positive activity.
