If you think about it there are actually a LOT of shops in RI and I think that's part of the reason not everyone carries everything. Look at Aquidneck Island alone; there's Sam's, Edward's, the new shop that is supposedly opening and the Edge. Then there's West Marine and Wal-Mart all in relatively close proximity. It's amazing that the Island even supports them all. Then over the bridges you have Quaker Lane and now Wildwood. That's a lot of options within maybe 20 miles of each other.
