Your local friends are there when you need them, not 7-10 days out!
A place to talk and ask questions, try on gear and make new friends.
Can't get that if the shop closes.

My local shop sells BMW/Exide and Shorai. The only place I've found to buy Odyssey locally for me is, in fact, Batteries Plus.
And as much as I love my local dealer (which is up for debate now that they've been bought out by a multi-line conglomerate), it WOULD still take 7-10 days to special-order a battery, and I'd have to drive 60 miles round trip to pick it up.
Amazon delivers to my house within 2 days and Batteries Plus is 3 miles away with stock on the shelf.
Some things just aren't worth the added time, cost, and hassle of going through a local dealership. I still buy all of my gear locally, but my next pair of boots may not come locally, because my dealer doesn't sell any boots that fit me correctly.
