One of the big problems of brick & mortar stores is competing with internet sites that don't charge you sales tax, if you are not in their states.
Internet stores will sell with small profit margin if you push them. The local store must match a low price AND charge us sales tax.
Our local dealer quit carrying them. He told me it was because people would come in, take an hour of the salesman's time, then go home and order it on the the internet, because he couldn't compete with the price.
He would rather have the staff sell pa systems or guitars, where profit margins are a little better, and turnover is much better.
