That is part of the problem. It costs a lot of money to keep that kind
of inventory in that many stores for the few number of customers they
have.
When I go to the Summerlin Square store the clerks outnumber the
customers most of the time. Usually I am the only one there. That is
typically on the first Monday of the month at around 9-10 AM. (after I
do water).

It was really a WM management failure that they didn't do a better job
of consolidating stores after they bought out Boat US. Having 4
stores within 10 miles of each other is not good business. Even if
they had long term leases they could have bought their way out,
sublet, or just left the property empty.
